...reduced, in accordance with his means, to the standard which prevails in other cities." The Faculty of the Scientific School do not scruple to insert a plain bid for tutoring; their advertisement reads as follows: "Those offering themselves at the June examination, and finding themselves deficient in a portion of the Mathematics, can get systematic instruction in these subjects at Cambridge during the long summer vacation." But the Law School is far ahead of all the other departments. In an announcement of the great advantages and glories of the school, the Faculty indulge in this spread-eagleism: "The Law Library...
Although we cannot speak of all the attractions of the College Pen, we are glad to see that it by no means neglects the fairer portion of humanity. In one number of the magazine we find an address to the Calhouclaynean Literary Society on the subject of "Woman's Influence," an article entitled "Woman in Adversity," and another called "Christianity and Woman," while in another number the young ladies of Neophogen are particularly addressed.

A man at college, where home and where home friends do not happen to be accessible, is very apt to pass almost all his time with men. And the result is that a college education, which ought to make finished gentlemen, oftener succeeds in roughening than in polishing the diamonds which are confided...
...things done, which you have always been taught to regard-with holy horror. For example, I will speak of drunkenness. I am familiar enough with the views of your mother and of your great-aunt Lucretia upon this matter to know that you, who have passed a good portion of your life in the society of those ladies, went to college with an idea that a man who had ever succumbed to the influence of liquor deserved to be excluded from the society of civilized Christians. I am also familiar enough with the phenomena of the beginning of a Freshman...
