...social way) is to be traced to this small but important beginning of hers, and the supremacy that the college now holds in the matter of fashions is certainly due to it. If the revolutionary practice of wearing long hair had even once been admitted during its tender years, there is no telling what would have become of the college. The careful and nourishing development of centuries has brought to use the suave gentility of the festive "bangs;" had we started upon the other path, today we should undoubtedly be under the wild, weird sway of o'er barbarous aestheticism...

...remarks, an abstract of which we give: We gather to pay the last sad offices of the church to one who was proud to hold the faith of his own nation. He is gone. Some feel that they have lost a dear and loving friend. All are filled with tender sympathy for his family. In all the relations of life he was tender and thoughtful. For the services to which he was called here his work was earnest and faithful. The death of Prof. Ko seems, to our mortal reason, untimely. He had acquired some knowledge of our language...
