...devotion must be great to impel him to pursue science under such difficulties. It may be said that opportunity for those who wish to make a specialty of the subject is given at the Observatory; but this seems to us insufficient. We are sure that many who do not care to go through a long course of special training would like to gain some knowledge of this subject. We see no more reason why knowledge of Astronomy should be limited to specialists than that of Chemistry or Freshman Analytics. We ask that a course in Astronomy may be offered...
...this practice increases, the members may, and sometimes do, become thinned down till all those belonging are members because they are popular. In all probability they are members of some society to which it is a great distinction to belong. Men of this sort will not care for the slight honor conferred by the latter compared to that of the former society; nor will they take any care to keep up the original standard of what was a society of learning, and so they destroy all its usefulness.

It is gratifying to note that such regulations have been made; but we are sorry that they are not enforced. The rents are so exorbitantly high that the greatest care should be taken of the rooms, and of every thing in them. It is, of course, impossible that the Bursar should himself superintend these matters; but the fact that some of the janitors do not perform these duties at all, and others only in a most unsatisfactory manner, shows them...
