...always of the best. The humorous column comes direct from the editors' pen, and is not so frequently clipped. Illustrations appear, more taste displayed, papers regular and with dispatch, showing that they are edited for a purpose, to express opinions and convey news, and not simply for the sake of having a paper. General college news is gathered and topics of universal educational interests discussed. We can read in this that those different colleges have stepped beyond the line of the old regime, helping to round a man out generally, give him the best of everything...

...open letter to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, a portion of which we publish this morning, an attempt is made to throw discredit on the Veterinary School and on those who have it in charge. It is to be regretted for the sake of his position that the writer felt compelled to use such vigorous language as to assure his readers that those who advised the foundation of the school did it solely for their own selfish purposes, or that the school appears to have been established for the "development of English flunkeyism on American soil," while...
