...taken for granted that the earth, especially England, and still more especially the individual objects of the writer's personal dislike, belong to the Devil without any kind of doubt.

It is, in our judgment, impolitic, if not unjust, to require attendance at prayers of all undergraduate 8 rooming within a half-mile, or within a quarter mile of the chapel. There ought to be a provision by which students over twenty-one, and the parents of those under twenty-one could obtain release from...
