...works of an author so prolific as Bulwer are often repetitions in part of former ones, and, even if they lose nothing in freshness and originality, they are likely to embody some fanciful theory or a leaning towards sentimentality in one form or another, - to be pervaded throughout, in short, by the particular weakness inherent in the author, which has been all along suppressed by whole-some criticism, or the fear of it, only to break out when the strength of his reputation renders him superior to the reviewers. But Kenelm Chillingly shows neither of these faults...
GENTLEMEN,-While deprecating a continuance of the articles on Harvard's religion, which have recently appeared in our College papers, I beg leave to offer a short criticism on the last article of that character contained in the Magenta. Its weak points are many, and they would at once be revealed by a careful analysis both of its course of thought and of its general style.

We wish them a brilliant Class Day and good luck in life...
...would be strange enough, were there no other considerations, to suppose that, in so short a time, and only at this late day, men have become possessed with the desire for thorough intellectual training. For a man to be learned and accomplished is nothing new in theory or in practice; but the separation of learning and intellectual training from religion, - using the word in its broadest sense, - or rather the elevation of the one above the other, is something as new as it is startling...
