...honor. This is doubly impressed upon his mind by his life in public schools, and finally becomes a very part of himself. He is taught to believe that the only requisite to success is education, and that in this country there is no such thing as being to the manner born. This feeling of personal independence is one of the most marked distinctions of the American mind, and its absence in the poorer and even middle classes of other countries is well known by every student of foreign character. It is, then, because of this that the vast majority...
...called by a milder name, because a college student is supposed to be incapable of crime - he merely breaks the laws." Again he says that a tendency to lawlessness has been observed at Harvard, Yale, etc., within a very recent period. We should be pleased to know in what manner Harvard students, for instance, have been guilty of any lawlessness during, say, the last five or six months.

Bicycling in the proper seasons is a most healthful exercise and a very fascinating manner of progression, but in the winter it is entirely out of place, and seems like having picnics in January. If winter riding be practicable, the Columbia Bicycle Co. should immediately establish an agency in Greenland, and introduce their machine among the Esquimaux...
...having other resources upon which to rely, as well as the knowledge that all losses could be soon made up afterwards. It is evident that all the students are desirous that some permanent arrangement could be made and continued, and if all would manifest their desires in a tangible manner, success would be assured. The project has recently been revived by a worthy and capable young man, whose interests are identical with those of the other students, and who wishes only to make slight profits, such as will repay him for his trouble and time. But Mr. Sever has already...
