...regard to the rumored prohibition of concerts and theatrical entertainments was written in ignorance of the precise action that had been taken by the Faculty on this subject, so that we were, at the time of writing, under a slight misunderstanding, which has since been explained. Still, we cannot repeat too often or too earnestly the suggestion that we then made, that all votes of the Faculty, except those which relate to individuals, should be posted on the bulletin board as soon as they are passed. We asked for this before, and we repeat our request now, feeling fully convinced...
...later on in life, will bridge the years between childhood and age in such a wonderful manner. The child is father to the man; but, like most fathers, is too apt to be disregarded by young men. For this reason, we regard the present triumph - for such the children cannot fail to find it - as doubly great. The stories are of somewhat unequal merit, but are all good. The natural fault, that of a want of naturalness and simplicity, is rarely met with. "Santa Claus' Deer," "Bertie's Dream," and "Rose Bud's Story," deserve particular mention. The second...

...system presupposes that the student has a well-trained mind, has four years at least to devote to the theory of the law, and then several years more in an office, to devote to the practical part. This many believe to be a mistake, as the average law-student cannot possibly devote so much time and means to the acquisition of his profession previous to entering upon the practice of it. The duty of a law school, in the present age and in this country, which has no requirements for admission, no entrance examination, the majority of whose students...
