...students. It remained to be seen whether it would be for the students. One who has been conversant with the doings of the management and has known what tickets for dress-rehearsals and performances have been given, what numbers of ushers and aids of every sort have been appointed, will recognize in all this a care and regard for the students which has been second only to that for the success of the play. We thank and congratulate Professors Goodwin and White, and in so doing we believe we express the sentiments of all the students of the University...
...result of this is that our German courses present a sort of climax upside down. In other departments, as it is well known, the student is supposed - in theory at least - to take the course marked (1) before he takes the course marked (2), &c. Not so in German. On leaving the Freshman class the student might as well begin with Course 8 at once, for but little preparation for such an advanced course is to be got from the lower courses, owing to the strong sense of individuality which pervades the several members of the German department; each...
...rejoice, therefore, that the students so energetically rebuked recently the unwarrantable assumption of power by a too officious official. The Directors of the Dining Hall, in branding the Bursar's action in removing one of their official bulletins as usurpation of the plainest sort, is approved not only by the students themselves, but also by all the outsiders that have heard of this disgraceful affair.

The Review publishes more good poetry; the Yale Lit. excels in literary criticism, Notabilia, and Portfolio; the Nassau inclines both to philosophy and to legendary matter of a ghostly sort, induced, as the Acta would say, by the atmosphere. But one reads these productions with a sense of dissatisfaction. Articles on weighty subjects, when published in a college paper, are compelled, for very lack of room, to be insufficient and fragmentary...
...such a man; but as this practice increases, the members may, and sometimes do, become thinned down till all those belonging are members because they are popular. In all probability they are members of some society to which it is a great distinction to belong. Men of this sort will not care for the slight honor conferred by the latter compared to that of the former society; nor will they take any care to keep up the original standard of what was a society of learning, and so they destroy all its usefulness. No society perhaps has gone...
