...attention has been called to certain editorials in a sheet "published by the students of Phillips Academy, Andover." The paper was not sent to us for some reason, although it is on our regular exchange list, and so we have not had an opportunity to remark upon certain statements which it contains. It is difficult to reply to conceited schoolboys smarting under the sting of a seyere defeat, and we should never think of noticing them at all, did not such an attack as has been made call for the severest censure. The Andover base-ball nine is famous...
...also that I hope private munificence may, before the University is much older, bring these same influences to bear upon students who from various reasons have not connected themselves with the fraternities. I hope to see houses for such students-club houses, if you please so to call them-with good accommodations, beautiful surroundings, and under student control.

Student duels are rather mild performances in most instances. The German method of fencing has very little of the grace and science of the French style, requiring only great strength and flexibility of the wrist. The sword used, spear they call it, is about three feet long, sharpened eight inches on one side, and sixteen inches on the other, with a blunt end. This is grasped in the right hand so that the arm crosses the face diagonally. The hand is protected by a basket hilt of iron, the arm and chest by impenetrable coverings. The left hand is held...
