...different dramatic complexion is Ford. If Webster terrifies, Ford causes tears; yet parts of his plays are delightful. Jonson is more difficult to understand. His works show a fine intelligence, much cleverness, and a good deal of art, his dialogues being especially bright and interesting. Comedy owes him a great debt in that he was the first to make conspicuous the idea of suggesting whole characters by means of a few characteristic traits. It is customary to regard him as the beginning of the decline of the drama, but it is perhaps fairer to say that with him artificial comedy...
...Cornell Register for 1893-94 shows that the Ithaca institution has maintained its normal growth during the past year. Its total number of students is 1,752, compared with 1,665 last year. A noteworthy gain has been in the number of graduate students, which has increased from 155 to 222. The most interesting figures, however, are those which show the distribution of the 1,267 undergraduates among the various courses. They are as follows; Electrical engineering 322, mechanical engineering 234, civil engineering 115, arts 136, philosophy 117, letters 84, science 86, agriculture 25, architecture 96, medical preparatory 5, optional...

The students themselves, those who have any appreciation of the dignity of Harvard life should unite to frown such conduct as this out of existence. The man who forgets his responsibility as a gentleman should be shown...
...College Kodaks have been supplanted by "Atrabilia. Being stray leaves from the note book of a cynic who reformed on attaining his majority." The change in the name is interesting, but the ten "stray leaves" do not show any marked improvement over the Kodaks. Though none of them attempt to be humorous, several are very pleasing. The other prose articles are "Aunt Mary," by G. B. Philbrook, and two sketches by H. B. Eddy; one of the latter being an unnecessary contribution to the literature of Adam...
