...Courant is the one on the Iconoclast. It demolishes that crazy sheet pretty thoroughly. We give a specimen: "The article on base ball is marvellously weak. The author has been so kind as to sum up his argument in syllogistic form, as follows: 'All men want to go to Skull and Bones; playing ball will not take them; hence, men will not play ball to get there.' Now there are only three flaws in this argument: The major premise is not true; the minor premise is false; and the conclusion would not necessarily follow if both premises were true...
...carpe diem, all this will soon go by, and the winter fireside be the only substitute for autumn's glory; an enjoyable one, notwithstanding, for winter drives every one within himself; and its long evenings give ample opportunity for that deep thought or light fancy suggested by our contact with the master minds of all ages in science or letters.

"I made it a rule," he says, "to have property to represent forty per cent more than I owed"; and, following out this rule, he rose...

If teachers and writers would be content to paint things as they are, and not as they ought to be; if they would endeavor to point out that virtue and temporal advancement do not always go hand in hand, that because a man is good he is not necessarily the idol of his class, that the tempter is by no means an "adversary," but with views very similar to one's own; - if all this could come about, there would be less disgust and failure in college, less...
