...claimed that these divisions were his own, and the only philosophical ones, - and there was a tendency among the audience to consider him conceited, for there was much ego in his speech. He took much trouble, too, to discuss the opinions of his predecessors as to the proper motion in each case, always differing from them, and to explain his views he used practical illustrations. "Now, gentlemen," he would often say, "this I consider to be the only philosophical attack in such a case. But others have entertained different opinions, the foolishness of which I shall show you immediately." Turning...
...object to heaviness in its proper place, but it is equally disagreeable in biscuit and in college papers. It is not mere dulness and inanity that we refer to, because such things are likely to happen in the best edited Magenta, but downright, ponderous sermonizing. The Denison Collegian is heavy; never apt to be absolutely feathery, the present number is more soothing and sleep-inviting than any of its predecessors. The first article, "What Next?" is excellent from a theological point of view. Then somebody "does" Herbert Spencer's Philosophy of Style, and this is followed by a "literal translation...
AMONG the other reforms held in view by the College Government, we trust that an alteration and improvement of the Gymnasium holds a prominent place.

The atmosphere being no longer congenial, it was decided to move, and a committee appointed for the purpose was finally, after much tribulation, enabled to report a favorable location in No. 5 Holyoke...
...traditionary and time-honored custom; but because it was time-honored, we cannot believe that it was entirely the fault of the students, and therefore the removal of the venerable instructor to a field where his great abilities will be better appreciated may have been the right and proper thing to do. But this does not make it at all clear that there ought to be no instruction whatever in this particular study. How can this growing evil, then, be remedied? Certainly not by the present action of the College. For just as matters in that quarter are shown...
