...students at the lectures of the Rev. Joseph Cook. If it were only Mr. Cook and his lectures to which he wished to call our attention, he might be excused; but our agitator cannot do this without impeaching Harvard College of snubbing a genius, Cambridge of "Miss Nancyism," the Nation of making mistakes (!), and himself of ignorance...

In the criticism of Deirdre, the author prefers, with Philip Gilbert Hammerton, to praise, than with the Nation to condemn. One of the best things in the Lit is the following courteous explanation: "We have an explanation for the Cornell Era, that referred to us rather discourteously in a late issue. The color of our cover was chosen for us, dear Era, O, ever so long ago, long before we came here; long before it was suggested to the great Mr. Cornell...
