...abuse prevalent here has long been a source of very general annoyance, and I have often thought that it ought to be brought before the College public through one of the papers. Still, it hardly seemed sufficiently important to call for an article; but I notice that in your last two issues you have established a department of "Correspondence," and here, I think, is the suitable place to make my complaint...
...professors who have lived since his time, for he only says, "the plan for locating the buildings, if any such plan existed, was certainly unfortunate." Our proximity to Boston he bewails as the "greatest disadvantage under which this seminary labors. The allurements of this metropolis," he continues, "have often become too powerfully seductive to be resisted by the gay, and sometimes even by the grave, youths who assemble here for an education.....

We know of no work which will serve so well to remind a student of his College days when away, or which will give his friends...
...result of the working of this new system it is easy to foresee. Seniors, as was last week pointed out, will take pains - and often at the sacrifice of their personal preferences - to elect soft courses. Already there are reports of Juniors who are about to change their "well-considered plans," and give up studies for which they have a taste for those which will insure them their A. B.'s. I know of one man who has made a specialty of English and Saxon studies, who had elected English 4 for next year. He has taken all the other...
