...have of late felt drawn towards the Cornell Era, inasmuch as we both experience the pleasures of editing a weekly, and if they need any sympathy we are only too ready to give it. Though, from the nature of things, we can have little interest in what concerns Cornell students, and therefore fail to find the Era as pleasant reading as some other papers, yet it is certainly an ably edited paper and quite equal in most respects to any of our exchanges.

We think that almost any Eastern college paper will contrast favorably in its tone with the ordinary political newspapers; and to point out what sort of journalists Harvard students make we need only point to such papers as the Boston Advertiser and The Nation, whose staffs are largely composed of Harvard men. It is the constant effort in college journals to show in their columns "fairness, and honesty, and courtesy, and calmness, and culture," and we think that they may well be imitated...
