...Freshman even greater than those of the Senior. An undergraduate, even, writing in a late Advocate, harping upon the somewhat stale theme, "When the College is merged into the University," etc., expresses serious objections to class feeling because the outside world, "hard, cold, and avaricious, recognizes no such sentimentalities." What then? Must we make our little college world "hard, cold, and avaricious," too? If such is the character of the big world, let us have the two realms as different as possible. It is very well to sneer at the "romance" and "sentiment" of class feeling, but, there is very...
...furnishes this time one of the former class, "That Freshman," better than the average which are published in its columns, although open to much censure. The plot, of course, is not elaborate, and the characters are not so distinctly drawn as we could wish. Regarding the character of its sentiment, many different opinions are expressed. The chief fault, by no means an unusual one in such compositions, is the fact that the conversation is all carried on in a very stilted style. Two college men, one a Freshman, the other a Senior, ride home together from a party. Entirely unacquainted...

...however, marred by the excessive friskiness with which he trotted about the stage at all times and seasons, and by a too rapid delivery. Having virtue on his side, and a good deal of profanity in his part, it is needless to say that he created a very favorable sentiment in the galleries. Messrs. Weaver and Aldrich among the gentlemen, and Mrs. Poole as Lady De Winter, deserve praise; Miss Fisk as the Queen, and Miss Noah as Constance, made the best of their small opportunities, as did Mr. Maguinnis, who played Boniface. The remainder of the cast was wretched...
...Squashville and Pumpkintown, and defy them to bring on their bears." The opportunity of introducing an attack upon the Record is not to be neglected. The Courant says, "The Record stole from our former publisher about everything upon which it could lay its hands. It was only a lingering sentiment of justice, seasoned, perhaps, with a wholesome regard for Connecticut law, that left us in possession of our name." We know nothing as to the truth of the first sentence, but the second displays the most glaring egotism. We may be forced to believe that the Record has robbed...
