...University Magazine is good, particularly the editorials. Its tone is manly. The Cornell Era has been turned into a twelve-column report of lectures on Germany. The literary articles of the Cornell Review, though well written, are not fresh. The "Paragraphs" are interesting but as a whole the paper is too ambitious. The Amherst Student is not ambitious, but succeeds in expressing the sensible spirit which has always distinguished its college. The Brunonian excels in editorials. They are pointed and well-written. The local and graduate departments of the Dartmouth comprise the greater part of the paper. It is successful...

It may be added that the Advocate's plan of subscription seems quite impracticable...
...such cases of temporary embarrassment the Corporation are now completely helpless. They are powerless to avert the injury which is inflicted upon the whole University by serious though temporary reverses in any one of its departments; they cannot contend against that sense of general instability which such reverses are calculated to inspire; they cannot prevent frequent breaks in the continuity of the development of the various departments, although that continuity is essential to economy of administration, to robustness of growth, and to the dignity of the University...
