After about fifteen minutes, when the applause which burst forth spontaneously at this brilliant sally, had somewhat abated, Miss Rosamond Mortimer, the poet, was escorted on to the stage. Her appearance was in every respect romantic. Her profile was of the purest Grecian type, excepting her nose, which, being a little retrousse, added marvellously to the deep sentiment written plainly in her other features. There was a plaintive dulcet tone to her voice that thrilled the heart of every hearer, as completely as - as - as the squeaking of bad chalk does in a recitation-room. Her poem, "On the Beauty...

...numerous and important. It is, in the first place, a mirror of undergraduate sentiment, and is either scholarly or vulgar, frivolous or dignified, as are the students who edit and publish it. A father, therefore, debating where to educate his son, would get a clearer idea of the type of moral and intellectual character which a college forms in her students from a year's file of their fortnightly paper, than from her annual catalogue or the private letters of her professors. To the college officers, also, it is an indicator of the pulse of college opinion. .... The college journal...
