...which, though they would appropriately relieve a long work, appear out of place when put by themselves in the necessarily short space of a college article. This distinction between poetry and prose, whether they appear in the form of verse or not, is one universally acknowledged and easily felt, although hard to define. Bearing it in mind, it is easy to see that there may be good writing in verse which is not poetry, and poetry which is not good writing, - two possibilities which are often lost sight of, although examples of them are seen in the college papers more...
...criticism on the method of instruction in this elective which appeared in the Magenta of May 16, although just to a certain extent, is rather too broad to pass by unnoticed. In order that the course may not appear in an unpropitious light to those who intend to elect it next year, justice demands that some corrections be made in the article in question.

Their bowling is very effective before the men become exhausted; their batting is good, and their fielding splendid. The one point in which they fail is in running the wickets. This has at times been fearfully slack and hesitating, and has given them many a needless out. The only way in which this can be remedied is to persuade enough...
...shows that one's own approbation is not sufficient unless that of others be superadded. And there is a dim belief that the speaker, as Socrates says, is moved by a certain divine inspiration and enthusiasm, or, to describe his condition in plain English, he is mad, and, although possessing a certain method in his madness, nevertheless he is destitute of true wisdom. His mind is not finely balanced, he is not sufficient unto himself, his ideas are purely theoretical...
