...perfectly objectless destruction of College property. The unusual character of the occurrence makes it doubly worth while to give public expression to what may safely be termed public opinion, and to inform the humorous gentlemen who are presumed to have managed this affair, that, in case of detection, they cannot expect the sympathy of the majority of their fellow-students...

...investment. The number of paying members is as follows: in Holworthy, 10; in Matthews, 17; in Weld, 31; in Holyoke, 20.

...finished gentleman, by the very influence of his presence and his manners, cannot fail to excite the admiration and emulation of his inferiors, no matter how much the jealousy of those inferiors may lead them to decry him. He is a fitting head for the great social body beneath him; and if his fortune will permit him to abstain from work, - by work I mean daily exertion whose ultimate object is bread-making, - he may be far more useful to the world than if his tastes and inclinations were fettered by business. But he must never be idle. Noblesse oblige...
