...death of hazing, though it may be but 2 comatose state into which "that good old custom" has fallen. Of late years hazing has been gradually softening down into a system of roughing - varied by an occasional barbarity - severe enough to injure only that stock of self-conceit which is said to belong to every young man of seventeen or thereabout. But this year we have had not even a "Bloody Monday," nor are we likely to witness any of the consequences which have usually followed the "rushes" and single encounters of that dread night. This long-desired result...
...such. But do not persuade yourselves that it can be made strong enough to endure the battle of life, by training it like the young vine, shielding it from every temptation and every danger. When temptation and danger do come in early manhood, sudden and powerful as they will, self-reliance and a knowledge of good and evil must be present or the structure, so carefully reared, falls.

From all the authors it is possible to make such a selection, which, while not extended, will introduce enough to afford a sound knowledge of literature, both past and present; to confine one's self to the past alone is like reading an old newspaper only to live behind the times, forgetting...
...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. For instruction in Physical Geography a fine globe, maps, and other necessary means for instruction in the department are employed, not perhaps sufficient for an extended course, but for all that the elective professes to embrace. Object-teaching has, as yet, hardly been introduced into the study of Meteorology...
