...such a club, long enough to tell us what the club shall be." When we know this, we will judge of its value. How shall the club be organized? What accommodations will it provide? What tests of membership, if any, shall there be. These and many other questions suggest themselves whenever a university club is mentioned. Both sides of the question will receive better appreciation, I am sure, if their partisans will tell us, as definitely as can be, the nature of that about which they reason as confidently as if it were a tangible and familiarly thing...
...being somewhat involved, holds its own in college poetry. The next article, "A Fellow Traveller," is the first of a number of short anecdotes. It has the recommendation of being interesting, but one feels a strong desire to assist the author on the matter of proper names and to suggest that there is something disagreeable to the reader at finding the hero in a town, beginning with an F and followed by a dash. Yet the anecdote is otherwise well told. "Phoebe Southerly" follows; being an account of the conversation of a skull, suspended from the ceiling by a cord...

...cast reflections on each other, but to unite to correct the abuses which have sprung up in connection with these public games on holidays, where we are in danger of having all the evils of our horse races, with their jockying, their betting, and their drinking. I venture to suggest that the colleges interested meet by representatives and agree on some simple restrictions which will admit of our receiving all the benefits which may be had from manly exercises, of which we highly approve, without their incidental evils. I propose that Harvard, as the oldest of our number, be invited...
...would discourage cleanliness, far from it. We simply wish to warn these bath-room monopolists of the wrath to come, if they persist in their greedy ways. However, we have not the heart to deprive them altogether of a pleasure apparently so much sought by them. We would suggest that they petition for the use of the tubs all night; and then they may sit and soak in peace, undisturbed by the maledictions of the men waiting without...
