...habit of using translations more than is done at present in college papers. It presented to the world in its last number several translations, of very perfect taste and finish. Now taking the Nassau Lit. as the bean ideal of what a college magazine should be, we cannot help thinking that perhaps it is justified in its call for more translations. In the first place, it is not to be presumed that an immature writer whose sole merit is a good command of English, can develop the instant he becomes editor of a college paper into a Stimson...
...prayers, the older and more universal, the better.

Twenty-five men are wanted to join the association, contribute, each one his dollar, and thus maintain a useful institution in our midst. An admirable collection of papers is now on file...
