...personal history of some of the students was thrilling. The oldest of the two Russians, a man of middle age, was a medical student. As a teacher, a lay doctor, and the propagandist of liberal ideas, he wandered over Russia for ten years. He had seen with pitying eye the misery and suffering of his native land under the despotic rule of the Czar. He had followed his own brother, banished without trial, in his weary march to Siberia, until driven away from the band of exiles by the brutal blows of the guards. Soon he expected to take...
...There is no profession, perhaps, which offers such sure compensation for honest work as this. The means of livelihood which are more ordinarily denominated "professions," are, say what we may about "room at the top," over-crowded. We cannot all be Websters; nor is there a chance that every doctor will rival the fame of a Marian Simms. Many a good mechanic is spoiled in a poor minister.

The doctor took up the subject as announced, and held the attention of his audience very satisfactorily to the end. Excuse must be made for the action of a few men, who rather rudely left before the lecture was over, on the ground of the examinations...
...themselves, which, nevertheless, are not sufficiently general to justify maitenance of teachers at the expense of the college. College athletics are, at best, merely a means for better intellectual work, and as such should receive the support of the university. The support is amply given, in the employment of Doctor Sargent and Mr. Lathrop. The additional employment of a special instructor in boxing is thus unnecessary for purposes of general exercise, and would simply establish a precedent for the employment of a host of instructors in similar specialties. Aside from the principle involved we would discourage the petition...
