...much experience in this matter should assign subjects wholly beyond the capacity of his class, or should expect them to write "North American Review articles." The criticism not only is a reflection upon him, but is not sustained by an examination of the subjects. That they are subjects which cannot be written upon without some knowledge and thought is evident, but that this should be urged as an objection against them seems nonsensical. If each writer was obliged to take up his subject without any previous preparation, it might require more time than he could afford, but among so many...
...very unfortunate that the weather this week has prevented foot-ball practice in the field, as the result of the match with Princeton last Saturday showed the weak points in our team, and proved decidedly that men cannot play well together in a game if they have not been faithful in their practice-work before the match.

It is so much the custom among our readers to regard the editorials as anonymous expressions of individual opinion, that we cannot hope to persuade them all of the falseness of their theory; but we hope that those who are really interested in the paper will recognize that our editorials are the result of the careful thought of several, not the partial judgment...
...titles of some of the articles: "An Ancient and Modern Battle as Typical of the Old and the New Civilization," "Humanity in Poetry," "True Partisanship," "A Criticism on the Representative Orators of the American Bar." How long will it be before the average college student finds out that he cannot write much that is worth reading on such subjects? He evidently has not found...
