...last number of the Nassau Lit. is quite entertaining. We think the writer of "Sensationalism in College Life" has "hit the nail on the head." We wish some of our friends would take the article to heart. "The Honest Italian Laborer" is a cleverly written sketch. We judge from the following that the Faculty has interfered with tennis at Princeton...
...last number of the Amherst Student is to our mind rather poor. "Little Annie and her Friends" has at last come to an end. It has fallen flat, like many other college serials. The readers are also favored with an account of the Yale-Amherst football game, a few clippings that have been going the rounds of the college papers for the last six months, some verses, and other matter of a similar sort...

As usual, the larger share of the offices fell to one society, rather in the natural course of events than from any preconcerted action, and, in one or two cases, by the votes of other sections of the class.

Or, if you want something of a religious character, you'll find the last number of my little sheet hanging on the chandelier. You'd better take it and read the 'Familiar Conversions.' They'll enthuse you, my boy. They're taking the world by storm. That's only the third one in that number; there are thirty-nine still to come: The conversion of the Goodie and the Poco...
