...especially among our western college papers, is too much towards literary effort, that is too much space is frequently given for essays, orations, such productions as we listen to every week in our different class rhetorical exercises.

The freshmen are hard at work and training regularly...

The elegant language and rational sentiments contained in this extract are particularly noticeable, and cause the feeling of entertainment which arises at first sight, to deepen into the most heart-felt pity for the unfortunate perpetrators...
