Stone, to the effect that most of the statesmen and men of affairs had come from interior colleges. Other speeches taking up the general line of thought that men equipped with a college education could wield great influence in the new West and establish here an ideal empire which combined all the best of the older States, were made by the various speakers who followed...
...yesterday the students thronged around the south entrance to University Hall, their "minds with but a shingle thought."

Such pieces the "Advocate" often cannot print...

The process of evolution here has been going on so steadily within the past few years, that the time does not seem far distant when we shall see at Harvard those papers, occupying distinct fields, the CRIMSON, a daily, the "Monthly, for our sober, steadfast thought, and a "Lampoon-Advocate" for our lighter moments...
