A firm yet candid friend, ever willing to sacrifice his own pleasure to that of others, his uniform courtesy and quiet merit won for him the respect of all, the sincerest regard of those who knew him intimately.

If it cost the writers one half the pains to write all of the stuff that it costs their readers to read it - why, I think they have our sincerest sympathy and commiseration in their woes. I call it rubbish and rot, and I claim that I am not too severe in doing so. Doleful writing makes doleful reading, and the Crimson and Advocate are reponsible for many dolorous pangs among their readers. I claim that I have a fair...
