...student's room is sacred from intrusion. No master or proctor can insist on entering it, whatever may be his suspicions as to proceedings inside. In this respect Oxford is ahead of Harvard. The regulations meant to discourage dissipation and immorality are directed against the temptations of the town outside the college walls. Students are rigorously restrained from frequenting public houses and saloons; this hardship, however, is mitigated by the privilege of obtaining at cost from the college stores as much wine or spirits as is desired. After all allowances are made for debaucheries in other towns, there are good...
...goodies, there is hope that they may improve, and that in time, if they apply themselves diligently, they may master the rudiments of dusting in addition to other work of a rather higher order, such as putting back pieces of bric-a-brac in their places.

The appearance of Mr. Wheelan and Mr. Redding, who have contributed largely to the success...
...School Athletes. - We see by yesterday's New York World that an athletic meeting is to be held at Mott Haven for school-boys only. Each boy entering must show a certificate of good standing signed by the master of his school. This scheme, properly carried out, should be a grand success, and will prove to be a long step in the right direction. If such schools as Exeter, St. Paul's, etc., would make more of a feature of athletic outdoor sports, - make it a part of the course, in fact, - and provide proper instructors in running, walking...
