...average weight is one hundred and twenty-two and one-half pounds, and a pretty fair one it is. Average age, seventeen and one-half, and average gain in three months, whether owing to hard study, or to the much-despised but wise plan of "early to bed and early to rise," seven and one-half pounds. For the benefit of future husbands, who, like good old Dr. Primrose in the "Vicar of Wakefield," choose their wives not for their shining surface, but for good wearing qualities, we will add that seventeen are taking practice lessons in cookery, nine...
...granted. The examination ought to have taken place last Thursday, but for some unknown reason the instructor failed to make his appearance, and it was announced that the examination would take place next Tuesday or Wednesday. The unfairness of interposing another examination in a week that is so hard as the last week of the semis is so obvious, that it does not seem necessary to do more than merely call the attention of the faculty to it. We feel sure that they will recognize the justice of the petition, and grant it immediately...

Obviously this plan can hardly be applied except in the higher and more advanced subjects, and even here presents certain difficulties hard to do away with. Yet in a genuine university it should not be impracticable, and its merits are so plain and reasonable as to commend it for trial at least. We sincerely hope...
...duly warned of the "sham." Archibald Forbes, the vehement, who whilhom used to be so proud in his contempt of American buncombe and shams, now hangs his haughty head in humiliation of spirit, and privately pours out the vials of his wrath upon Oscar's devoted head. Poor Oscar, hard is thy fate indeed! When thou hadst thought to win honor and fame upon this foreign strand, and to convert the souls of the heathen to the bliss of intensity and the high mysteries of art, thy friends and kindred turn from thee and forsake thee...
