...close of a long, eager conversation on Robert Browning's poems, or Froude's "History," or some quaint old treasure long "out of print," the generous impulse prompts an offer of the volume discussed, It may be the listener suggests that he would like to know more on the subject. "You ought to read such and such passages," says the happy owner, and the borrower carries the book home, and forthwith it mingles with his own and is merged and lost. Such a thing even as the loan of a borrowed book is not unusual, though it ought...
Although the question of the advantages of classical training is one of vital importance to every student, we have thought best heretofore to say very little on the subject beyond what we have clipped from other papers, as we felt sure our readers would probably hear enough of the discussion. The appearance, however, of Prof. Hofmann's address at Berlin, and the two reports of the Philosophical faculty of that university seems to warrant extended comment. As our view of the pamphlet in question seems too long to be inserted in any one edition of the paper, we have decided...
...have no wish to continue any controversy with the Yale News in regard to its report on the recent freshman foot-ball game. One point, however, in an editorial on this subject which was contained in last Monday's News calls for further comment.

And further, we did not "deliberately mis-state" the item, as the editorial so courteously puts it. We gave it what we considered a most natural interpretation...
...present arranged ladies only will be admitted as spectators. A daughter of the premier, Miss Helen Gladstone, the vice-principal of Newnham College, Cambridge, will probably have a voice in the arrangements. It may perhaps be considered apropos to this topic if I mention here that the subject of the new opera by Mr. W. S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan will turn on the "girl graduate" question. Mr. Gilbert has already dealt with it in his humorous poetical drama founded on Tennyson's "Princess," and in the new piece at the Savoy the idea is to be further developed...
...better,-that any such course of study is a failure, a waste of precious time, and must be either improved or given up. Now we assert that what has been said is exactly the state of the present instruction in forensics; and whatever the faculty may think on the subject, we are confident that all thinking men in the senior class-who have had a year's experience in the matter-will agree with us. Not but that some of us have derived great benefit from our forensic writing; this, however, is in spite of, not owing...
