...when called upon to recite. It should be the office of professors and teachers to dispel this erroneous or rather imperfect conception of the means and methods by which an education is to be obtained ; but on the contrary they too often encourage it, because it makes their recitations appear to advantage and saves trouble. It is a lamentable fact, however, that the men in college who are called the best scholars have frequently remarkably poorly furnished minds when they get through. Studying for standing is dangerous. It economizes the mental forces to an undue extent, and withdraws them from...

The opening chapters of his second novel will appear in the December Century, and before it makes its appearance he will have completed his third novel, which is said to be in the vein of "A Frivolous Girl."

This should not be, for the catalogue, being representative of the college, ought to be covered both in the paper and cloth editions with the college color. Why, when crimson is so handsome a color, the editor should see fit to have it covered in a weak imitation of the color of another college is a mystery. Many years ago the publisher stated that no crimson paper or cloth was obtainable. Such, we believe, is not now the case; at any rate...
