...every student, and deserves our earnest consideration. The principal disputants are able speakers, and will undoubtedly present sound and convincing arguments. Of course a question of this nature will naturally provoke strong ideas for and against it. But no unbiased opinion can justly be formed without hearing a fair statement of all sides of the question. We trust that the students will avail themselves of this opportunity to express their ideas upon so important an issue...
...when we inserted the editorial referred to. Giving the arguments our correspondent has cited all the weight they contain, we would state firmly that our stand is still unshaken. Our position was well considered before it was taken, and we see, as yet, no cause for retracting a single statement we made.

The deficit may arise from a lack of proper canvassing. We sincerely trust that this is the only reason, and that the freshmen, if personally solicited, will...
...composition which we slight most, is that in which a number of related facts are gathered, and put into intelligible form. It is commonly said that the man who does this sort of work in an historical essay, or biographical sketch, shows neither thought nor originality. Yet such a statement is far from true. For it is no light matter to take a given number of facts about an affair of ordinary interest and so arrange them as to hold the attention of a reader. In one way, such is the task of an artist in making colors into...
