...real individuality, however, the essential imprint of the writer's mental states, defies classification. The chirography, the methods of expression, selection of facts, and last but not least in many students' books, the pictorial embellishments tell the story. The pictorial trait persists mainly in the limp-covered class and in the stiff-covered books which have fallen from grace. Some of the pictures will often be found to be clever and ingenious, but rarely bearing on the lecture topic. Some are poorly drawn but expressive, while others are mere aggravations...
...education at Cornell is in high favor, for Sage College is full. Hon. Henry W. Sage lately gave $60,000 for the endowment of a chair in Christian ethics and mental philosophy, and next year there comes to the university as head of the department of Philosophy Prof. J. G.

Mental power and scholarly attainment, while they are demanded more and more in all professions, seem to be especially demanded nowadays in the profession of medicine. Would-be doctors may well attend the lecture to-night, and may expect to hear something worth hearing from one who has had the experience...
...Bowdoin College student, who says he has been there, gives his views on the romance and profit of spending the summer vacation as a hotel waiter. He says the summer months are given the student to rejuvenate his mental faculties and tone up his physical constitution, and seems to think the one is not accomplished by association with the help usually employed around hotels or the other by sleeping in laundries or under bowling alleys. As to the financial success of the scheme he is equally skeptical, his experience seeming to have been that the cooks got the greater part...
