...mild protest against the lengths to which rhetoric has led him. In the character assigned to us as indifferentists, we can hardly be indignant, and other considerations forbid us the forcible language of the article in question. Notice the ingenious paralipsis when he writes, "The honor of the College forbids me to publish," and then dips his pen in bitterness and gall...

The Freshman, naturally shy about speaking before his unknown classmates, thinks that the easiest way will be to put all his interests in the hands of an executive committee, whose only relation with him henceforth will be that of an importunate creditor, fondly believing that...
