...number of men, and at the same time the kind of men, that elect History in college, make it one of the most important of the branches that are open to us; and it may be interesting to compare the opinion of students as to the most profitable manner of conducting an elective in History. I have taken several of the electives, and have discussed the matter with a number of the students, and can, perhaps, express the views of many historical students...
...architects of the new Gymnasium are aiming to make it as complete as possible, and with that end in view have expressed themselves willing to receive suggestions from the students. It is to be hoped that a similar spirit will actuate the architects of our mental gymnasium, - the new hall for recitation and lecture rooms. That these rooms will be properly heated and ventilated, after all that has been said on the subject, we may reasonably expect. There are other points, however, that may be overlooked by those who have not profited by bitter experience. The windows, for instance...
...popular verdict seems to be that they are all more or less uncomfortable, and there will be great interest taken in what will next be given us to rest on. We have even heard it proposed that every man should provide his own chair, - a plan which certainly would make a novel and interesting recitation-room ; for if there is one thing on which every man has certain pet ideas it is an easy-chair.

This is a much more wholesome tone, and one that will do something toward stopping the evils themselves. To parade one's own vicious acts shows either a very childish or else...
...Ossip has such fine feelings about exactitude, he should himself have been more exact. We did not (though he so asserts) "admit" that our only expectation in censuring H. H. was to make him " reflect upon the sally of wit," and we have shown (contrary to "Ossip's" statement) that we have good reason to express disapprobation. Again he says that because we do not "look upon popular men as manly " we do not admit that "the popularity which the independent man professes to scorn is the esteem, the respect, and the friendship of manly men." The reason he assigns...
