...though we differ with the author as to the expediency of roughing the undergraduate, we heartily concur with him in many of his ideas.

...been well said that in these days of extended learning no one subject can be thoroughly grasped. Still better does this apply to the mastery of two or more subjects; facts are multiplied to infinity, theories follow the same progression, and the absurdity of memorizing these in any definite way is but too evident to the man of average ability.

It now appears that "nearly ten per cent" of the college-bred men, members of the Forty-second Congress, were graduates of Yale. If society wire-pulling is the proper school for a successful politician, let no one longer wonder at the venality of Washington...
