...asking ourselves, "Why did we ever appoint the Directors?" and "What good are they now that we have appointed them?" These questions we have never been fully able to answer, but, thinking that perhaps Directors were rather a good thing to have in the house, we have hitherto been silent. We probably should have remained so had it not been for last Friday's dinner. This went a trifle too far, and so stirred up our bowels (of wrath?) that we must enter a protest. Friday was fish day, and fish we had. The recollection of it is as fresh...
...presence of chambermaids. This article renders us sensible of our own blessings. We thank goodness for our goodies; and we cannot refrain from thanking the Lit., in the name of those fair attendants, for the pretty compliment which it has paid to their deft neatness, - a quality which had hitherto remained undiscovered...
...future, can never be realized until both do all in their power to remove the causes of misunderstanding.

Personally, we all miss them; and they will be missed still more at the bat, at the oar, and in the editorial sanctum. It is true that since they entered College we have won no University race; but that this failure was owing more to our ill-fortune than to their want of skill and determination, will...
...currency bill now before Congress. Of late we have read nothing but repeated protests against the folly of inflation, and complaints of the wilfulness of Congressmen, who, through ignorance, are unconsciously heightening the dangers of a worthless paper-currency. Either the nature of values has been too little taught hitherto, or very incompetent men have been sent to Congress. If the legislators who favor inflation merely advocate the views of their constituents, it is earnestly to be desired that some philanthropic, or at least patriotic, men will emigrate South and West with their pockets filled with political-economy tracts...
