...many would gladly pursue the subject further. Chemistry 1 is justly a popular course, but those who take it think that enough might be left out to make it count only two hours, and yet attain the same result. It seems unnecessary to the general student to follow every element into all its combinations when only a few will be found of any practical use. In Physics, also, there is room for a course which should meet the wants of a larger number. If it is possible to treat the subject in a way that would not involve abstruse problems...
Every one recognizes that the most pleasing feature of our athletic sports is that they are the work of amateurs, and it may be predicted that wherever the professional element creeps in, their enthusiasm and interest will die out. A professional almost invariably becomes the tool of pool-makers and rowdies, and even under the most favorable circumstances he has great difficulty in keeping his integrity above suspicion.

For students cannot all be run through the same mould, like bullets, but allowance must be made for individual taste and proficiency...
Bouffe becomes glorified, when played by such artists; the objectionable element is by no means prominent; glissez et n'appuyez pas is the motto of this troupe; nor is there a shade of the vulgarity and imbecility which Mrs. Oates and kindred "artists" offer us. It is much to be regretted that the houses have been small and unappreciative. To-night, M. Capoul sings Wilhelm in "Mignon," - a part which he created at the Opera-Comique. At to-morrow's matinee, the whole company appear in "La Grande Duchesse," and in the evening, Mlle. Angele takes a benefit...
