...breadth of view which the college gives, and help them to carry forward self-chosen lines of special study to the limits of the world's attained knowledge, and on into regions yet unexplored. Not the teaching how to walk, nor yet the easy and rapid journeying along the beaten paths of knowledge, but the exploration of fields remote from the main lines of ordinary travel and the surveying of new territory, is the function of the university...
...this new edition has succeeded fairly well in what he has tried. While his metrical work is hardly above the average, he has adhered rigidly to the meaning of the original, and the result is a really valuable English presentation of Virgil's wonderful poem.

The team this year has the advantage of playing on its own grounds, which is one reason at least why it should be victorious. The contest is more than a class contest; it represents in a way the college itself, and this is the is the strongest reason why the freshmen should make every effort to win it. We urge the team to improve every hour of the time that remains, and we wish the best success in the contest next...
