...Chicago correspondent to the N. Y. Times calls him, certainly exposes himself to the accusation of great folly, when he proposes to bring a "criminal suit for $50,000 against the professors in charge of the chemical laboratory at Harvard University for injuries received in the laboratory by his son." To undertake to make a crime out of an accident is certainly not wisdom. Dr. Brooks should remember that this experiment, in which his son was so unfortunate, has been tried for years by large classes without any serious disaster; he should remember, too, that warning was given that...
...professor in the room at the time, and that the experiment was undertaken out of regular hours, when not even an assistant was in the laboratory. We do not expect that Dr. Brooks will grow rich from a suit, the cause of which is due to his son's carelessness, if to anything at all criminal, and not to any manner of means to the fault of Harvard professors...
...reading has become absolutely essential to a successful career. And it is safe to say that if this habit is not gained by college men during the years they spend at college they will never acquire it.

...offering to our love, no longer his. With pedantic pen and labored toil B. sings of the "Wail of the Whip-poor-Will," and if his lines help out the editor of the Bugle, and are printed, a fond mother weeps in joy over the promise of her son, and the Century registers a new contributor. C. is taking Phil. I. He breaks forth into an exegesis of Hedonism. The readers of the Bugle read and simply wonder. Perhaps it is all right, perhaps not. No one pauses to ask. It is not strange, however, if in future...
