...criticism on the method of instruction in this elective which appeared in the Magenta of May 16, although just to a certain extent, is rather too broad to pass by unnoticed. In order that the course may not appear in an unpropitious light to those who intend to elect it next year, justice demands that some corrections be made in the article in question. The subject of the elective embraces the elements of "Physical Geography, Meteorology, and Structural Geology." That the desired specimens of "metals, fossils, and rocks" cannot be introduced in two of these divisions is self-evident...

Several new songs were introduced, which were...

It is the peculiarity in a man most open to laughable roughing, not the one most deserving it, that receives the greatest share of this kind of criticism. It has come to such a pass that a timid and sensitive man may well be restrained from an action, perfectly good and praiseworthy in itself, but still a little out of the usual run, from fear of the consequent roughing. At any rate, he is obliged to consider beforehand "what the fellows will say about it." Thus independence...
