...Munsell, in kissing different young ladies, as unwise and very improper, and that his position, as president, heightened this folly and impropriety; but, as it was always done in the presence of third parties, there could have been no improper intent." We have always disapproved of "mixed colleges," and see no reason now for admitting women to their "rights" here...
...there is one other thing that seems to demand immediate attention. Where so many persons sleep in a single building, as is the case here at college, too great precautions cannot be taken that an easy means of escape be provided in case of fire.

...greater admirer than myself of Bulwer's writings, and I consider "Eugene Aram" at least one of his average productions. Still, I see no reason to correct a former opinion expressed concerning a story, a great part of which is occupied in narrating the events leading to, connected with, or growing out of a murder...
