This preliminary study in Blackstone, Kent, or some similar text-book, can be much more profitably pursued under an instructor than by one's self; and the man who enters the Law School after having taken such a course has a much clearer understanding of his subject than one who has been over it alone, and is consequently enabled to profit more by his subsequent instruction. A great many men either lack the time or the energy to work up such a subject by themselves, who would eagerly embrace the opportunity of pursuing such a course were it offered...
AMONG the most vehement, if not the most just, complaints constantly occurring, and the subject of nine tenths of the communications sent to the College papers, is the practical grievance suffered by all undergraduates in College buildings arising from the shabby treatment their rooms receive at the hands of the so-called "Goodies."

This "Promenade" has finally taken place, and from the account which the Courant gives of it we are led to infer that polite society is not the sphere for which the Yale man was created. "We would (sic) like," says...
...Scheme for carrying on the Dining Hall" was, as "A Director" has claimed, valid only for a year, and we are now left with merely a general understanding that the Hall is to be managed to the best of their ability by ten or twelve officers, who are subject in some undefined respects to the control of the Corporation...
