...vocabulary, it seems, has been invented in a certain apartment in University Hall. A Junior, summoned to account for absences from recitations, showed a doctor's certificate in proof of his illness. This will not do, he was told; the College is not a hospital. If ill, the student had better go home, and return when well...
...capacity for becoming benevolent, patient, humble, and loving, depends, however, in no way on the particular creed of the individual. In times past it was quite common to insist that, in order to be virtuous, a man must entertain certain beliefs about the nature and origin of the Universe, about Immortality, Free Will, &c.

From the point of view of the writer, there is, undoubtedly, a certain indecision in the action of the authorities; and the Corporation may, perhaps, very soon be called upon to define the position of the College with regard to co-education. For the present, however, we do not think that it can fairly be said that the College is tending towards coeducation, because it does...
