...most that may be safely attempted within the limits of a single day. The experience of three seasons have simply served to strengthen them in that theory. They believe, furthermore, that the people of New England who take pleasure in seeing a short, sharp, and decisive trial of strength between her two oldest and most famous colleges, will always be attracted to New London in numbers sufficiently great to make the profits of transporting them pay for the costs of good management; and they have no intention of ruining their own present prestige by attempting a complicated 'regatta' which might...
...could they arouse real and effective interest in Greek, than by placing before the public the treasures of Greek literature and letting them judge for themselves as to its merits. Such a manner of presenting the case gives an impression, not only of their own confidence in the strength of their cause, but of the real power of the cause itself.

...event of interest to all undergraduates is the expulsion of the editor of a college paper by the Faculty of the College of the City of New York for the free expression of opinion with regard to the mode of instruction in oratory. It is a sign, not of strength, but of weakness, in a faculty, if it is obliged to expel students for expressing obnoxious opinions. Either these opinions are well-grounded, or they are not. If they are, is a student to be punished, rather than thanked, for calling attention to what needs reform? If they...
