...announcement of the conditions of the Sargent prize for the best translation of one of the epodes of Horace, is well calculated to stimulate an interesting competition. While the date which has been fixed is somewhat unfortunate, sufficient time will be allowed for any earnest writer to complete the work. This prize will serve as a valuable supplement to the Bowdoin prizes and offer a premium for excellence in poetical composition. Some complaint has recently been expressed that rhythmical construction is totally neglected in all our English composition courses, and that college poetry is wholly an affair of college periodicals...
...their importance. Upsala has between eighteen and nineteen hundred students, Lund about a thousand, and Stockholm, the youngest, a considerably smaller number.

It is somewhat difficult to procure information bearing on the subject in a convenient form, but we should recommend the reading of any of Turgenieff's novels, more especially "Virgin Soil," as an excellent way to get a fair and at the same time sympathetic idea of the great movement now progressing in Russia...
...scherzo certainly affords needed relaxation, after the gloom of the funeral march, yet one would wish that the descent were not quite so rapid, and surely the title of scherzo is decidedly out of place in such a connection. The last movement sustains the heroic character, though in a somewhat lighter strain, and forms a fitting conclusion...
