ANOTHER aspirant for the title of the American Tom Hughes has made his appearance. A book called "Student Life at Harvard" is about to be published, written, it is understood, by one of the class of '64.

...would not be understood to say that we should regard all men alike. There are some whom we should admire and praise; there are others whom we should hate, despise, and execrate. There are two great principles, one of which every man must follow, - the right and the wrong, the true and the false. The truth-teller should be loved, the liar should be hated...
