...book, compiled by Mr. Winsor, is complete in every particular, and most methodically planned; the four principal divisions, those that tell of the preparation, the law day, and the undergraduates' day, foundation day and alumni day, being sub-divided according to time; the first event of the day being first mentioned and the last one last, an arrangement that makes the narration very vivid - if the reader happened to have been present at the celebration reinforcing his memory, and if not, allowing him to form a very clear idea of what the celebration...
These courses cover valuable fields of knowledge which heretofore have been little traversed, except by special students. The King James version of the Bible, in particular, has never received the attention to which its peculiar literary merits entitle it. An attempt has been made to convince the public that as a translation it is a poor and inadequate piece of work. That question it is not worth while here to discuss; but it still bids fair to remain among the imperishable classics of our tongue.

But inasmuch as they did their best to win from Yale, they should receive the credit therefor and not be "jumped upon" for not doing...
...defeat which the Lacrosse team received from the South Boston team yesterday afternoon should be a warning against the danger of over confidence, a danger to which the lacrosse men are particular liable, owing to their long continued success. Some time yet remains before the first college game, and yesterday's lesson should be profited by, if the champion ship is to remain here another year. The season has been against our team, and the disadvantage can only be overcome by harder or rather more careful work, for nobody can accuse the lacrosse men of not working hard...
