...Russian Government is about to establish at St. Petersburg a Polyglot College, in which will be taught all the modern languages of any importance, and the tongues of all the nationalities, about seventy, under the Czar's sceptre. The purpose of this college is to prepare trust worthy and thorough interpreters for the diplomatic, consular, and military service, the civil officers and missionaries who have to deal with the different nations found in Russia, and mercantile agents who have to attend to the import and export trade. A Russian professor himself speaking over a score of languages says...
...that, aside from the shells and barges belonging to the regular crews, there is not a boat obtainable in which a student who cannot swim, who has a large family dependent on him for support, and whose life is not insured pretty well up into the thousands, would dare trust himself upon the raging and muddy Charles.

...letter from Prof. James, published in another column, deserves the attention of every man in college. After exhorting the students to celebrate their athletic victories in a manner which shall merit the trust reposed in them, he goes on to give the theory of college government; that is, that government of students should be by students, that all matters of discipline should be decided by them just so soon they show fitness to be intrusted with such matters, We think that the time is now ripe for carrying out this theory at Harvard...
