...mixed" college, we are not surprised to learn that such a subject as "Wife, Man's Best Treasure," is a favorite one for essays; nor does the following decision of the editors puzzle us, "that it is no breach of etiquette for a lady to greet her gentlemen classmates on the street with a bow of recognition, although she may not have had a formal introduction...
These Heliotypes will not meet with approbation from our chance visitors; these gentlemen will be much more likely to abuse us soundly for affectation. But if we sternly banish all lithographs from our rooms, in company with most chromos, and put these in their stead, we shall soon find an enjoyment before unknown to us in looking at these works of true...
