...themes, could not give the college the full benefit of his scholarship; beside Professor Child there were one or two transient instructors in Rhetoric - transient because at that time the attitude of students toward the study of their own language left little hope in life for the man who undertook to teach them...
...only institution that offers such advantages to writers. It is, however, to be regretted that other institutions do not move in the same path.

Until the appearance of the last named sheet, we really have had no literary paper for some years. We have had a humorous paper, a light-almost dilettantic-paper, and a newspaper; and the change in the character of our periodicals does...
