...that a grand movement was inaugurated in favor of education, - a movement, however, which had not the time to produce results before Bonaparte was on the spot. He wished to crush the Revolution, which had scarcely yet laid out its work, and he arrived just in time to claim his heritage. Seizing upon the ideas then working in the revolutionary furnace, he formed them to his own liking, assimilated them to his own, and finally ran them into his own mould, - a mould of iron, which it has hitherto been found impossible to break. This was the birth...

...would, however, reiterate - for we have reason to believe it needed - what has already been said in both Magenta and Advocate, in regard to the unwarrantable publication of private affairs of the College. We have no desire to dictate to the daily newspapers of Boston, but we do claim the right - not as a paper, but as a convenient and true exponent of the opinions of the whole College - to inform them when they are trespassing on private property; and they must perceive, we think, that when we do so our opinion should be respected, because in such cases...

...vigorous. From the Salutatory we learn that it is conducted by the literary societies of the University. The articles are all well written, interesting, deep, and spirited. Though we shall always welcome its appearance, and wish it all success, we very much doubt whether that success, as the Review claims, "will have accomplished a reform which is needed at other institutions of learning as well as our own." Experience has shown that long articles, however well written, are seldom read by the majority of students, and a college paper, to live, must be supported by every undergraduate. This fact...

...urged that it is in agreement with the present spirit of college boating for Freshman crews to represent all departments of a university; that, therefore, it would be a courteous thing in Harvard and Amherst to waive their strictly legal advantage, and grant, as an equitable claim, what could not be demanded according to the letter of the rules. To this there is a twofold answer. In the first place, inasmuch as Yale's right to pick her crew from the Sheffield School was not perfectly clear, she should have sent, months ago, a notice of her intention...

...second place, as to the merit of such a claim on Yale's part. It must be noticed that, at this point, we leave the province of clear and unanswerable reasoning. On such a question opinions are determined, not so much by the spoken reasons (such as on Harvard's part "unfairness to the smaller colleges," and on Yale's "fitness that the two races should be rowed on one principle") as by feelings, customs, prejudices. Every one will allow that races between University, and between College or department, Freshmen are both very good things. But if only...
