...fair statement of the other. The question is by no means settled, and it would certainly be but just to state fairly the arguments on both sides, and then leave the hearer to judge for himself. It was remarked some time since, that instruction in theology should not exclusively deal with the tenets of a certain sect, but should be broad enough to leave the choice of faith to be made after a just statement of the various principles which are the rallying points of the different sects of Christendom. The same thing is most eminently true of political economy...
...GOOD deal of criticism, both favorable and adverse, has been passed upon the new Regulations of the Faculty, the general impression being that the University has made a step forward in allowing voluntary recitations to all. But there is one point which seems to call for some notice, and that is that all punishments are left unreservedly in the hands of one officer of the Faculty.

...visit of the Football Team to Canada this year raises the question of the expediency of visiting the Canadian Teams two years in succession. The Team deserve a great deal from the College at large, but we think that rather than incur the great additional expense of a yearly trip north, they had better be deprived of the pleasant journey; and, if they must play return games, have them arranged with Yale and Princeton, where we can get some of our money's worth by seeing the game rather than hearing of it.

Our class boat-races arouse a great deal of enthusiasm, it is true, but the interest is as nothing when compared with the New London contests, where our representative oarsmen measure their strength and skill with those of our New Haven contemporaries. The same principle applies, as well, to base ball and football. The Yale games are always...
...poetry did not flourish at Princeton. It certainly does n't. The Princeton papers scarcely ever have any verses at all, and when they do they are very bad. The Nassau Lit. feels it necessary to make some reply, and does it by saying that there is a great deal of poetry, better than any the Magazine ever publishes, in the Lit's waste-basket. To such an answer, at once a courteous criticism, an interesting fact, and a complete reply to the Magazine's captious fault-finding, what can be said...
