...College Library has lately received from Dr. S. A. Green, Librarian of the Massachusetts Historical Society, a copy of Virgil "ad usum Delphini," printed in London in 1:40, which has served four generations of Harvard graduates as a text book; it bears the school-boy autographs of its last three owners, while the name of the first owner has been written by another, presumably by his father. The successive users of the book were Joshua Green, of the Class of 1749, his son Joshua, of the class of 1784, his grandson Joshua, of the class...
...James' Epistle: "So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by the law of liberty." At the outset of university life, the speaker said, a man comes into a new freedom of thought and action.

The relation between the three episodes might more plainly be shown; or else, the three episodes might be made more distinct, thus making of the story three character-sketches, as the writer evidently intended...
...belief that he is more studious than his predecessor of twenty-five years ago. . . . The fact seems to be that the undergraduate studies about as much now as the undergraduate of his father's time studied." The working time of the present ordinary undergraduate could be increased, but the boy does not go to college merely to study. The public has a warmer feeling for colleges than for technical schools, because colleges are places for high aims, high opportunities and high spirits. "The college student, while learning to work intelligently and vigorously, should have to more work put upon...
