...have noticed lately, in some of our exchanges, the project of having a convention of college editors meet at some central point during the summer vacation. One exchange in particular sets forth in glowing colors the benefits, mental and physical, to be derived therefrom, nearly as follows: the pleasure of seeing and knowing personally the editors of so many papers; the relief of the journey to the wearied editorial brain; the lasting friendships we might thus form; the knowledge we might gain of each other; the "dignity" it would give college journalism; and last, the power resulting from unity...
...Junior Class are doubtless sufficiently grateful for the benefit they may have derived from reading fifty lines of Milton once in four weeks (anything in the Dean's Report to the contrary notwithstanding) last year, yet they are not to blame for not yet feeling fully accomplished in that particular. We grant that the infrequency of these recitations was due in a great measure to disturbances created by the divisions during recitation, in accordance with a traditionary and time-honored custom; but because it was time-honored, we cannot believe that it was entirely the fault of the students...

Frye, a recent arrival at this theatre, has rather more talent than we generally recognize in the Museum's "walking gentlemen...
...would be extremely difficult to compare this collection with others in Europe or America, for some are more complete in the works of one particular master, a great many more numerous, and one, even in this country, more costly; but we believe it is not overstepping the limits of our authority to say that, as an aid to the history and study of the graphic art of all periods and schools, it has few superiors anywhere, and none in this country. Indeed, it can hardly be otherwise, made as it was by a man of such cultivation, judgment, and taste...
