...easily answered? It is not as to whether the Freshman is capable of choosing a course of study which is best suited to the development of his mind; it is rather a question whether he will do it or not. The standard of admission is raised to fit a man for a higher and a more systematic mode of thought and study, and the required studies of the first year are made as general as possible, to enable one to choose the course of study which suits him best. There are very few, if any, fitting schools in which...
...young man of a prudent turn of mind, who has just entered Harvard College, applied for insurance on his property in a prominent office in New York. A portion of the policy returned read as follows: "Insurance is effected on his education, raw, wrought, and in process, and materials for completing the same, including library of printed books, bookcases, musical instruments, eye-glasses and canes, statuary and works of art, wearing apparel, beds and bedding, contained in No. -, Thayer Hall, College Yard, Cambridge.

Unless the theatre or opera is attractive, not one man in ten knows what to do with himself. Billiards, and a dinner at Parker's or Maison Doree; is the unsatisfactory result. Now, to a man capable of enjoying anything higher, there are other resources than these, which it is my object to point...
...These long summer days are so deceptive! Yes, there come the cows, followed by a brown-faced urchin. We shall be just in time for a warm glass of milk. Ah! here's richness! This is n't milkman's milk. What a magnificent Jersey! I often think a man could never get nervous or ill-natured, could he always have before him the picture of good nature and repose which is depicted in the sleek countenance of a well-bred cow. But come, we must catch this sunset from the top of the hill. Nothing to equal this...
