...could have my way I'd banish them all to Chelsea, - I can think of nothing worse. Some of the older ones in the business must have got rich by this time. Nobody knows how many Credit Mobilier shares they own. They are one of the drawbacks of student life, but we must submit to them as to so many other extortions. It is with a view to making this submission easy that I offer the following plan. It is the joint production of myself and chum. We thought it carefully out in accordance with the canons of taxation...
...complains is a man who really has found something lacking in some department. In so large a University as ours, and in a transition state besides, it would be strange if there should not be some ground afforded for fault-finding. But the very fact that a student criticises the methods in vogue here shows that he has an interest, albeit not a lively one, in the conduct of the college and in his own studies. Persons rarely indulge in criticism unless their taste and good judgment are offended; nor do students care a straw how recitations are conducted when...
...Sophomore and Junior years there are certain required studies to which professors are assigned by the Faculty. To have these instructors elected by the students would, of course, be absurd, and is too illusory a hope to be cherished a moment in the undergraduate mind.

The disappointment they show when refused can surely result from nothing but their sorrow at our blindness to our own interests, and is enough to make a tenderhearted man repent and invest. The utter absurdity of the articles offered...
...Student (Urbana, III.) has copied - we say copied because it does not bear the usual "Written for The Student" upon its heading, but some other name - an article comparing Dickens and Tyndall, for no other reason than that they are both Englishmen, - a sufficient ground, no doubt, in The Student's eyes. We are sorry to see the matter so indisputably settled. How have our idols fallen! Before reading The Student, we had always regarded Dickens as quite a good author, - brilliant, interesting, and instructive. But no, it can't be so; for "Dickens's life was spent chiefly...
