There is no delusion produced by the nobler title of professor; we know the difference both in the manner of giving and the instruction given. The relations between instructor and learner are different, are less restrained and more sociable...
...feel obliged to repeat to some of our contributors what has been said so often before, and ask them to use a little more judgment in their selection of subjects. To find a good subject upon which to write, we know from sad experience is a difficult thing; for the columns of a college paper, to be readable, cannot be open to a very wide range of discussion, and consequently, from this necessary limitation of choice, interesting topics are hard to be found...

The regular Catalogue is published so late in the year that we really know where almost every fellow rooms ere we have opportunity of referring to its pages. But the Directory, published thus early in the term, is indispensable to every student...
