...profession, perhaps, which offers such sure compensation for honest work as this. The means of livelihood which are more ordinarily denominated "professions," are, say what we may about "room at the top," over-crowded. We cannot all be Websters; nor is there a chance that every doctor will rival the fame of a Marian Simms. Many a good mechanic is spoiled in a poor minister. These facts ought to be taken into consideration when a choice so momentous as that of a profession is to be made. The lecture this evening will aid this consideration.

The colors employed exhaust the resources of the spectrum, and makes this coat of arms rival the traditional coat of Joseph...
...following clipping from the Lasell Leaves shows the state of the newspaper file at that institution "for the higher education of women:" "We hear that the only rival of the Harvard Lampoon now is the Police Gazette. We know little regarding the literary merits of the latter, but conclude its editors must stand as the head ranks of journalists to be compared to those of the Lampoon...
