...poem, this lady of the wilderness,- her mind was a mirror of the divine life of nature. It is not true that 'men must have enough knowledge of the world to see the vanity of it' before solitude will become them. Only when alone with nature does man cease to be an egotist. I never meet the artificial lilies of our social life without thinking of this natural lily of Lake Massawepie...

...differ wholly from the Advocate as to the duty of each Senior in subscribing to the Class Fund. In all previous classes it has been held obligatory for every man to contribute to the full extent of his means; and we trust that the members of the Class of '80, who have always been so liberal in their contributions to subscription-lists, will not fall behind in subscribing to the Class fund, the last and most pressing call upon the liberality of the present Senior class. The fund is a class fund, for the purpose of defraying all future class...

In the case of many other subscriptions, - for instance, those to the Class Fund and to the University Crew, - a man cannot very well refuse to subscribe, unless he is absolutely unable to do so. About these subscriptions, then, as well as some others, there is, and very properly, more or less obligation. But the College Fund is not on a par with these, and a subscription to it should...

...have received here. As far as what we have received can have a money value put upon it, we have paid for it. It is no more fair to ask us to pay for all the benefit we have received from College, than it would be to ask a man to pay the author of a book the value of what he had gained from reading it. I wished to point out the fact, which I did not suppose would be disputed by any student, that for rooms in the College buildings we pay decidedly more than a business value...
