...shaken from their places. A very little care would repair the damage already done, as well as keep the windows in their proper condition for the future. The college can ill afford to allow these windows to fall into decay apparently from indifference. It is unjust both to those whose kind thoughtfulness has given these memorials, as well as to the large body of students who meet daily in the Hall. The leads should be replaced and the panes reset without further delay, and we would urge those whose duty it is to attend to the matter to repair...
...equanimity until one of the spectators, more impartially disposed than the rest, reminded him of the office he was supposed to fill. For his sake, we should also like to hint mildly that an umpire's business does not consist in coaching the members of a team in whose interest college ties bind him. In short, the nine has every reason to feel aggrieved at their treatment, and we are only sorry that a game was arranged at all with the University of Pennsylvania...

...Eighteenth Century Jubilee," written by Mr. Howe. The careful handling of detail, the judicious mingling of light and shade, the vivacity of expression and the lightness of touch manifested in this sketch give a peculiarly charming effect. The writer has caught the happy spirit without the ridiculousness of Boswell, whose strange acts at the Shakespeare jubilee of 1769 are incidentally described. Mr. Herrick's story, "Optimaet Pessima" is a powerful effort. A vagueness of meaning seems at first to characterize the piece, but the uncertainty disappears as the story advances. The real strength is discovered upon a second reading. There...
