...Yale Lit. is good, as it nearly always is, and has some unusually good verse; but the Nassau Lit. is the best of the monthlies, with an excellent article on Goldsmith, a well-written, though rather sensational story, a very good critical article on Shakspere's two methods of suggesting time, as shown in Othello, and several short pieces on different subjects. The editors think we ought to have some new college songs, in which desire every one will agree with them who has the misfortune to room next to a Freshman who thinks "Naughty Clara" is the latest thing...
...matter of pride to Rochester, N. Y., as well as to the firm directly interested, that yesterday a cable despatch was received stating that the French government had adopted the tobacco and cigarettes manufactured by Wm. S.

It is a well-known fact that the large...
...widespread feeling among the students that lectures should play a very important part in our college course, and the action of the authorities in offering us such advantages is thoroughly appreciated. We wish, however, that our own professors would do something in this way for us, as well as for other colleges and for the public. Many students who cannot spare time to go into Boston would gladly attend lectures if given here, and we hope that Professor Fiske will be able to repeat in Cambridge the course of lectures which have already proved so interesting to audiences elsewhere...
