...Miss Austen follows her creations with the minuteness and relentlessness of providence, is she necessarily false? It has been said that only one language can be thoroughly mastered by any one, and as the style is the man, so the language is the nation. No one can be a cosmopolitan writer; the world is too wide and too complex; not Sophocles, not Victor Hugo, and certainly not Tolstoi. To cut short this essay, this story seems rather inaccurate and a little labored...
...that our president deserves all the enjoyment which he can crowd into six short months. It is a source of pleasure to us that Harvard is drawing more and more from the West each year, and that the claim formerly loudly advanced by Yale that she was the only cosmopolitan university, must so soon be abandoned as untenable. When westerners as a body forget their silly prejudices against Boston, we can hope that Harvard will become as popular among their young men as among those of the East who are now learning under her guidance, to be "earnest and upright...

...company steal quietly away to home and bed; but they are not missed. Songs are being roared out at the top of stentorian lungs. Most of the students are, of course, German; but there are enough from England, America, Switzerland, Egypt, yea and Japan, to give a cosmopolitan flavor to the gathering. "The Watch on the Rhine," "God Save the Queen," and "Hail Columbia" are all roared out together in amiable discord. Some student conceives the gay notion of beating time on the table with his beer mug. The happy idea is infectious; and a thousand mugs thump ponderously upon...
