...that a man shall be deprived of all instruction by the College for three or six months for a mere technicality; because he failed to attend the requisite number of prayers, because he was absent a certain number of times from church without an excuse, because perhaps he was seen on Jarvis "Bloody Monday night." It is still harder to say that a man must be separated for a longer or shorter term from the University, because to what seemed to him a rude remark from an officer of government he made a rude reply. But when it happens that...
Boston Theatre.Miss Neilson made her first appearance in Boston, on Monday night, in Romeo and Juliet. We have never before seen this part performed by an actress of great ability, and thus we lack anything with which to compare Miss Neilson's impersonation; but, judging it by itself, we think that it proves the lady to possess, not great genius, surely, but the highest talent.

No; it is too much. Let some distinctive name be chosen at once, and, whatever be its origin, be it Greek, Latin, French, German, Anglo-Saxon, or a hybrid, let it, Oh, in the name of justice, let it be opprobrious...
Probably not more than one in fifty of those now in college have ever seen the engravings, and yet there are some good reasons for it; the limited time of the Curator, the small space allotted to them in the Library, and the number of applications from persons not in college...
