...Vassar Miscellany.We dare not attempt, within our limited space, to boast of dealing justly by the three "literary" magazines, - the Cornell Review, the Nassau Lit., and the Yale Lit. We dare not award the palm of superiority to any one, when all are so excellent. But the whole system of such undergraduate "magazining" seems to us radically wrong, and therefore are we no impartial judge. The Review publishes more good poetry; the Yale Lit. excels in literary criticism, Notabilia, and Portfolio; the Nassau inclines both to philosophy and to legendary matter of a ghostly sort, induced, as the Acta would...

AFTER Mr. James T. F-lds's paper upon the Poet Laureate had been read, the Quizzical Club did not meet for several weeks. It was thought, on the whole, not best They were afraid lest the poet should return unexpectedly; besides, Mr. F-lds's shocking revelation had produced an unwonted feeling of depression. But at last an event occurred which stirred the club to its very depths. Charles Shirts, that emissary of evil, had actually been tendered a dinner (think of it!) in Boston, the home of the Poncas and the Daily Evening Tramp. A meeting was immediately...

He forthwith produced a horse eleven hands high, 1 which he bestrode. He then vaulted through the woods. I laid hands on a vagrant hyena and did likewise. He swam over lakes; I also swam over lakes. He bounded-over torrents; I also bounded over torrents. He scaled cliffs; I also scaled cliffs. At last we stopped before the door of a wigwam. In the darkness within I could just discern a female form...

...TWOMBLEY, Harvard, '79,W. BARCLAY PARSONS, Jr., Columbia, '79,Committee on the Cup.The Games of the Union Athletic Club at the Music Hall, on Wednesday evening last, were, on the whole, not so entertaining as their last year's meeting. The programme was too long, and the management inefficient, so that it was after one o'clock when the last contest ended. Messrs. Sayre and Baxter of the N. Y. A. C. (the former also of Columbia College Athletic Association) contested respectively the running high jump and pole vaulting, each securing an easy victory, Sayre clearing 5 feet 3 inches...

...regret to see that our esteemed contemporary, the ??? in accordance with its custom, credits the whole disturbance to the Freshman class. This continual throwing of responsibility on the unfortunate Freshmen is as puerile as it is absurd. While members of all classes take part in the riots, the great majority of the offenders are old in iniquity and steeped in crime. The ranks of the violators of the peace, it is reported, were chiefly recruited from the B??? Institute and the Divinity School...
