Especially are these remarks applicable in the case of Physics and Metaphysics, both of which are required studies, little of either of which is remembered after the annuals by the majority of any class...

Where so many persons sleep in a single building, as is the case here at college, too great precautions cannot be taken that an easy means of escape be provided in case of fire. We are glad to see that fire-escapes have recently been placed upon Holyoke, and it certainly would not be amiss to place them upon all the college dormitories...

It is sufficient to say that the rest of the article is in the same senseless style. The great question for us is, What will be the effect of this tremendous article? If The Student has an extended circulation in England, we tremble...
