...simply because they suppose that these articles apply to some circumstances, some event, which happened in college life. The editors of the college papers will not, I think, advise any one to write humorous articles; in fact, we once heard an editor remark, when asked in regard to the style of an article about to be written, "Anything but a humorous article...
...disgrace) might be remedied by exacting many more themes and forensics from those who should fall below a certain mark than are now required. There is no doubt that if the men were required to write a theme, say once a fortnight, the more obvious faults of their style - if they can be said to have a style - would be so often brought to their notice, that even the dullest could not help correcting them.

Then, too, there is the Boston Art Club, where frequent exhibitions are held during the winter months, to which admittance can with little trouble be obtained. To a real enjoyment of good pictures the technical knowledge of an art critic is by no means essential. In fact, the cardinal quality...
