...paper goes to much greater lengths in his attack on our time-honored institution. "K" is not at all cool or persuasive in his arguments, but "goes for" class feeling as an abolitionist might have spoken against slavery. He says: "Its atmosphere is stifling, and its fetters galling." Rather strong language, I think, to apply to the friendship which naturally exists between one or two hundred young men of like age, having like studies, and the same interests and pursuits in general. This writer longs for the time when "pseudo-unity of spirit will no longer be a palliative...
...Munsell, President of the Illinois Wesleyan University, has been up before the trustees on a charge of a new kind of "lip-service," and has resigned in accordance with a strong hint. What the charge against the playful divine was can be inferred from the report of the trustees, who "regarded the course of Dr. Munsell, in kissing different young ladies, as unwise and very improper, and that his position, as president, heightened this folly and impropriety; but, as it was always done in the presence of third parties, there could have been no improper intent."

The Dartmouth Anvil has, however, made its appearance, and we may say, has come out strong, for it growls and shows its teeth at Amherst and Harvard in a most savage manner. Its scathing criticism on an account of the Boating Convention in our last issue had for its object, no doubt, the utter annihilation of the Magenta. Still, we feel in duty bound to present No. 7 to our readers, and will here...
...speak above a whisper entirely regained it by a walk to Boston from a town in the western part of the State, taking a week for the journey. The bracing oxygen of a crisp morning in winter, or the balmy air of the better days of spring, is a strong argument in favor of walking even in preference to exercise within the walls of a gymnasium, where ventilation, especially in cold weather, is difficult. In fact, exercise within doors has always to contend with a disadvantage, and they make a strong point against dancing who urge that it is usually...
