...curious expressions now-a-days when "slang" is so very plentiful, and some of these, while not in the slightest ungramatical, are yet always condemned as "Americanisms." Nearly every one from childhood has heard the name, "Americanisms" applied to certain words or phrases, and gradually everyone learns to feel that all expressions so stamped ought at least to be avoided if not suppressed. And yet there are but comparatively few people who know what an "Americanism" really is. In a recent article Mr. Richard Grant White in referring to them, answers the question admirably. He states that "it is very...
...strongest support. Let there be no half-hearted backing today. Let every man cheer and cheer as if he meant it. Yale enthusiasm is proverbial; '87 must see to it that there be only the heartiest support from them.

With the best of feelings toward Columbia, it would be impossible for the association to retain a member whose engagements are made on so unreliable a basis. Harvard and Princeton both, will probably feel bound, in justice to themselves, to insist on the withdrawal of the New York team. The only allowable excuse a team...
...with mingled feelings of pleasure and regret that we hear of the possibility of Professor Dunbar resuming his old position at the head of the Advertiser newspaper. We cannot but feel pleased at the compliment which is offered to a member of our faculty and gratified that what may prove a loss to the university will be a gain for a much larger number. But we regret that our department of Political Economy, which is now assuming its proper position of importance should lose its head just when he is most needed. In addition to this, we must regret that...
