...announcement has appeared in our columns relating to Honors in Physics. This is an innovation tending only the more forcibly to show the spirit of liberalism which pervades the faculty with regard to college studies. The study of physics is now put on an equal footing with the classics and mathematics, and all students who have any decided inclination for the study of physics should devote more time to this course than has hitherto been done.

...humorous editor of the Spirit of the Times prints the following bogus letter from Harvard: Cambridge, Mass., April 19. - Our "Lake Winnipiseogee" crew is hard at work, doing well, and anxiously awaiting the day when they will meet Yale at Lake Winnipiseogee, to contest for the Lake Winnipiseogee Cup Yours, Mott Haven...
