...other is called "Every Man his own Thayer Club; or, How to Live Cheaply." It is written by a high-rank man, and evidently embodies the fruits of his own experiments. Its object is not only to show how to live cheaply, but also how to regulate the diet so as to economize time for studying. It is with this purpose that cracker and milk is made the staple article of food, while meat is restricted to Sundays. For, according to medical advice, studying should not begin after an ordinary meal for an hour; while with this diet digestion will...
...simultaneous publication of two books, written by students of this University, is a literary event of no small importance to us, and is a triumphant answer to those who assert that literature is at a discount here. The books are now in press, and will be for sale in a few days. Both are in pamphlet form, and, when published, may be had at the bookstore.

...enough to have a long life, but by careful nursing it may grow and flourish. It wisely ascribes its paternity, not to the whole Institute, but to the class of '75, thus relieving three classes of quite a burden. The best article in it is the editorial, short, well written, and so closely resembling in ideas and language the initiatory one in the Magenta, that we are forced to admire...
