...that power to sway an audience is one of the chief requisites of good speaking, and it is surely strange that neither of the three speakers whom the audience would have placed as high, if not higher, than any others, was mentioned in the award. Either there are certain arbitrary requirements, unknown to all but the judges themselves, or else they were unfitted for their responsible positions. Much dissatisfaction was also felt at the withholding of one of the first prizes, especially as the judges declared that they were greatly pleased with the high standard of the speaking. We cannot...

A train of platform cars, with seats arranged in the form of an amphitheatre, will also keep along by the side of the boats from start to finish. Each car will hold about eighty people, and it would certainly be a good plan if arrangements could be made by which the students should have certain cars reserved for themselves The only disadvantage of being on this train is, that for the greater part of the distance the boats will be on the opposite side of the river, although...

Freedom of action does not seem to be allowed at Rutgers, to judge from the Targum's indignation at a "certain secret society" whose members have all refused to renew their subscriptions to that estimable contemporary of ours. Their action is called "almost incredible," "a boyish trick," "an exceedingly selfish action," and various other pretty names. The reason of the withdrawal, according to the Targum, is "disappointment at the non-election of a friend." We warn all our subscribers, that as soon as one of them withdraws, we shall take a leaf out of the Targum's book...
