...complete system of self-government by the students,-the faculty only regulating studies, and having nothing to do with conduct except in altogether unusual emergencies. If there could be but one crime, "behavior disgraceful to the college," and one punishment, expulsion, that would, it seems to me, be the ideal state of things. But it is obvious that such a consummation will have to be reached, if it ever is reached, step by step; and between now and then the students will have to learn to deal with conduct in each other of which they disapprove...
...endeavor of amateurs, and one cannot expect the personal excellencies of professionals, Mr. Jones as Brutus lacked many of the essential attributes of that character, but as Antony, he showed a good conception of his part, and a ready and well marked adaptation of action and speech to his ideal. His clearness of tone and ease of forcible utterance are to be especially commended. These two last qualities were apparent in the vocalization of Messrs.

She appears, in not her most attractive form, in the Franklin stove. She stares blankly at you from her "BOOKS RETURNED," and "BOOKS RECEIVED," which are pasted on the wall over the narrow mantel-piece, and which indicate that there is to be found the connection between the Annex and the Harvard Library. The dimity curtains and patch-covered window-seats cannot be offended at being dubbed "simple." But simplicity abdicates her sway...
