While the students of the college are quick to take advantage of the lectures given here by non-residents, and generally manage to attend the evening readings given by our own professors and instructors, there was an example of neglect on last Friday which calls for remark. One of the instructors in English kindly consented to give a four o'clock lecture on the subject of descriptive and narrative writing, to which were invited all members of the classes of '87 and '88.

Thus, there grows up a want of harmony between the college professor and the fitting school instructor which can be cured only by efforts on the part of both for natural confidence and helpfulness. The fitting...
...tingles in every particle of our body. The exclusive domination of Latin and Greek was due to their inherent power. Greek and Latin are worthy of study, if only for the beauty and grandeur of the languages. They are among the greatest instruments of thought, and we cannot neglect those languages without damage to ourselves...
