...last few minutes before the striking of the midnight clock in fanciful speculations for the morrow and in serious retrospect of the day spent. If I do not derive some benefit, at least, from these ruminations, it at any rate seldom happens that I think to-night on the subject of last night; but since this cold weather has set in, my thoughts hitch each time on the same point. I invariably dwell upon the temperature of my room, and find myself repeating again and again those expressions of discontent that are apt to proceed from a man who sees...
Although we cannot speak of all the attractions of the College Pen, we are glad to see that it by no means neglects the fairer portion of humanity. In one number of the magazine we find an address to the Calhouclaynean Literary Society on the subject of "Woman's Influence," an article entitled "Woman in Adversity," and another called "Christianity and Woman," while in another number the young ladies of Neophogen are particularly addressed.

This subject has been considerably discussed since the fire in Hollis, but we must remind any one who is wearied of it that it took two years of continued articles and remonstrances before walks were laid in the Yard. It is to be hoped that as fire-escapes are more important than flagstones, the Corporation will take a shorter time to procure them. During the Hollis fire an officer of the College was heard to remark: "This is quite remarkable; we thought we were...
