...beginning of the dissertation pick out a brilliant passage from your Sophomore themes. This will attract attention; and if it seem abrupt, the objection against abrupt beginnings is not well founded. [See Hill's Rhet., Book II. Chap. VI.] A similar quotation somewhat longer and, if possible, more brilliant will make a good conclusion. The intervening part, the body of the dissertation, should be carefully arranged, and have several marked divisions. Such divisions encourage the reader, for, without counting the remaining pages, he can see that he is drawing nearer the end; and they also are extremely handy when...
...when this suggestion was carried out a few years ago still cripples the Association somewhat, and makes it averse to a repetition of the experiment at present. Meanwhile the directors have begun a vigorous canvass of the College, in which we wish them all success. Not a few men seem ignorant of the existence of a reading-room, and others forget that it is supported by the subscriptions of students.

In this connection we will say that we offer a cup for a handicap race to come off whenever the track on Jarvis is ready, and to be a distance of two-mile heats, best 2 in 3, with a proviso that seven...
...last Advocate that all Sophomores and some twenty-five Juniors had been excluded from Philosophy 6. In the case of Sophomores this is not such a hardship, as they have still two years more in which to take the two courses, if they desire to do so; but it seems to me that it is an act of injustice to prevent any Junior from electing it. It is acknowledged that this course is one of the most important that is given, and it is certainly very hard to have to put it off until the Senior year, and thus...
