...faculty's address to the students, which we print in another column, is by far the most satisfactory action that body has taken this year. It is almost always the case that any disagreement between faculty and students is largely owing to a misunderstanding of each other's position. Such a statement as this last on the part of the faculty cannot fail to have a good effect, as it shows that their position is a just one. The main body of the students are no less anxious than the faculty that the good name of the college be preserved...
President Porter of Yale says: "As far as Yale is concerned athletics are doing well. They do not divert the interest of the student, nor do they diminish the zeal for culture as a whole. The student is improved by the slight diversion of attention which they afford...
...true, and there seems to be no reason for doubting that it is, this is indeed appropriate. For it is with these two colleges that the name of Longfellow is so intimately associated,-as a student at Bowdoin, and a professor at Harvard.

Besides this, at the end of the year another fee is required to cover the cost of actual breakage made by each laboratory student. This fee varies with the care exercised by the student. On the last term bill it appears under the same item of expense as the first fee, and hence our correspondent's error. The last fee is for nothing but damages to apparatus and for any chemicals, besides the regular reagents used by the student...
