...French literature, and allied subjects, and the exercises would probably be conducted in French. As a means of increasing interest in French literature among the French students in college, and of acquiring information in a pleasant manner in subjects about which it is hard to get accurate information, we think the conference would prove a great success, and hope that the plan will receive the hearty support of the college...
This evening Prof. Briggs continues his readings from Chaucer. While these readings have been attended by many members of the college, yet we cannot think that they have received all the appreciation which they deserve. Of readings in general, we believe it may be said that they are not fully appreciated by college students. The more popular entertainments receive crowded audiences, while the more instructive and more valuable ones are in a measure neglected. We are sure that those who have the time to attend the reading in Sever will be repaid...
...pretty thoroughly aired, if not in some way decided. The necessity of taking stringent measures against cribbing is being felt in almost every college in the country, and probably it has been emphasized nowhere, so much as here.

There...
...usually college men also. The work of amateurs in the poetic art he would discourage by means of "most brutal" criticism. Why amateur verse should receive brutality any more than the most professional verse that has ever been written, we find it hard to see. On the contrary, we think that young poets should have encouragement, not discouragement. If poetry is worth writing at all, it is worth the attention of amateurs. True, "poets are born," but they are born with the poetic genius, not with the poetic art. The genius needs the art for its perfection...
...true the complaining has not been very extensive - that the practice of placing the numbers over the pulpit in chapel, to indicate the psalms and hymns, has been given up, or at least very much neglected. We grant that the matter is of slight importance, but still we think the custom a sufficiently valuable one to be continued, and certainly we can see no good reason for its discontinuance. To those, who take part in the services, the numbers are often useful...
