...Arbor correspondent, cannot but be of some value. Besides this, we attempt to give below expressions of opinion from the several colleges where the advocates of co-education have been most actively pressing their claims of late - Columbia, Brown, and the University of Pennsylvania - expressions which, we think, quite fairly represent student opinion on the matter at these colleges. Vassar's voice on the question is quite significant. In regard to the subject of co-education at Columbia, our correspondent writes, there is but one opinion among the students, and that is a feeling of the deepest hostility to anything...
...Vassar correspondent writes: "What Vassar students think of co-education is hard to discover, but those of us who are here show by our presence what we prefer for ourselves. And yet I do not think we dislike to have other women do differently. Perhaps we believe in co-education theoretically more than we do practically, for it is useless to deny that it is easier to study books when there is no interesting human nature to study.

The graver pieces are those in which he displays most force; in humorous passages his pen does not run with the same lightness as Selwyn's, Shadwell's, or Doyle's. The epitaph which he composed...
...other colleges, the number of students at Harvard from other than the Eastern States was small. This fact, which is evident when we compare the number of students here from the Western and Southern States with the number from those States at Yale and some other colleges, is, we think, sufficiently accounted for when we consider how few schools there are outside of New England whose regular course is advanced enough to prepare students for our entrance examinations. All those who have prepared for Harvard, outside of New England, recognize the fact. The standard here, though not perhaps so greatly...
