This proposal which is made at Yale is but one of the many with which our college papers all over the country are filled. To-day there seems to be a sort of fever in our American colleges for starting congresses, houses of commons, and the like. The formation of such debating societies, which shall keep the students directly informed about the public business of the nation, is a very hopeful sign. The old societies used to discuss everything under...

It is true that we get something of this sort by reading the college papers, more especially the Monthly and the Advocate; but here the great trouble is that they treat not of topics which the ordinary man has any occasion to handle, so that they do not have the same effect which a much less pretentious piece of work...
