...must confess to a little disappointment in reading it, and dared we say it, we would remark that this article is not the feature of the magazine. C. O. Hurd, '86, has a critical article on Poe's "Murders in the Rue Morgue," in which Poe is called to task for want of logic in his story. A strange thing, full of pathos and power is the personal reminiscence of J. S. Phillips, '85, entitled "Joe and I." It is well conceived and contains a psychological study of deep interest.

Thus, there grows up a want of harmony between the college professor and the fitting school instructor which can be cured only by efforts on the part of both for natural confidence and helpfulness.

The interest which prevailed at that time and by which the Co-operative was saved an inglorious fall, is good evidence...
Yesterday the first revolutions of the cumbrous wheels of the college machine made us aware that a new, and for many of us the final, year of student life had begun. To-day the mill is in full swing, busily engaged in the task of grinding out its annual grist of A. B.'s. The clang of the prayer bell, followed by the rush of tardy footsteps over the crunching gravel, reminds us that prayers, like the poor, "we have always with us." The genial face of John, that unique example of Catholic "Orangeman:" the thought-furrowed brow of General...
