These remarks might be continued indefinitely, but as they are, they will fully accomplish their purpose if they lead many to look at these engravings who before did not know that they were on exhibition. This exhibition, I learn, takes the place of the former practice of opening the collection a certain number of hours every week for those who have made appointments. The new arrangement will undoubtedly please all who really wish to get from these art treasures what can be gotten by continued and undisturbed study, and what can never be obtained by satisfying a restless curiosity, which...
...more fitted for Americans than this. We are likely to mistake bustle for business, precipitation for progress. In her struggle for equality with nations that have had the maturity of centuries, America has partially lost sight of the dignity which is one of their leading characteristics. Not that we accomplish nothing by the spirit of progress, which is proverbial in us, and which has so often astonished even ourselves; but what we gain, we get frequently at a disadvantage.

Among the more abandoned students many a conspiracy is hatched; in cold blood they often settle on the best plan of working the religious ruin of some fellow-student, and ruthlessly execute it. All of us are familiar with the method of a young...
...accomplish all this, the Society has been at an expense of between four and five hundred dollars, more than half of which was subscribed at the meeting at which the change was decided upon, and the balance was forthcoming in so generous a manner as to give the strongest evidence of the growing interest felt for the society. So much for what has been done. It is in the future, however, that the Sophomores look for the best fruit of their labors, and are anxious that the spirit of progress, inaugurated by them, should find some worthy champions in those...
