...milk is made the staple article of food, while meat is restricted to Sundays. For, according to medical advice, studying should not begin after an ordinary meal for an hour; while with this diet digestion will be far enough advanced to permit studying in fifteen minutes. But the author, in making up an estimate of the cost of living for a year on this plan, forgot to include the expense of a funeral, - a great oversight. We are afraid his regime will not find favor with the majority of students; but the book, as an expression of the opinion...
...before us, and we predict for one, at least, a ready sale. The first was doubtless suggested by an article in the last Magenta. It is entitled "A Complaint of the Increase of Beggars in the University," and, as we read it, we were in full sympathy with the author throughout. It is divided into three parts. The first is merely introductory, yet very interesting; the second describes a plan of the author for lightening the burden of the "American poor-rate" (as he calls our voluntary charities), and how it failed; the third gives suggestions as to the best...

Many works of Bulwer's, besides those already spoken of by either Magenta or Advocate, deserve extended mention and praise. But sufficient space has already been devoted to this subject...
...Denison Collegian has an article on the "Morality of College Catalogues," which exactly expresses our views upon the subject; some of its remarks are such that, if they proceeded from one of the older Eastern colleges, the author would be directly accused of a snobbish desire to trample on struggling merit in the wild West; on this account, we are glad to find them in the Collegian. Speaking of the catalogue, the writer says: "It cannot tell you, from the course of study laid down, anything about the quality of the teaching. Promises made...
