With the workings of the company here last year we were all more or less familiar, and strangers have looked inquiringly at the gossamer line between Stoughton and Holworthy, conjecturing as to its purpose. The subject of Mr. Burgwyn's article is of so much interest to collegians, that we thought it right to mention it, referring our readers to the Old and New for further particulars...

The mere faculty of expressing one's thoughts with facility and grace is not uncommon among us; but behind and above all this there are certain conditions, indispensable to the making of the real orator, consisting, as the treatment of this subject by Cicero has admirably shown, in a general and detailed acquaintance with all departments of knowledge.

...often been suggested to the subject of our present mythologico-biographical considerations, that, since he had such a large amount of foot to support him, he need not be at all particular about standing upon many solid principles. Now, I take it to be one of the best of proofs that our friend's natural greatness of mind is as exceptional as that of his feet, that he has never seen fit to avail himself of this good pretext for being a scamp...
