...College Argus raises the old cry of "Too much Work," which is echoed just now by every College in the country. A youth in this paper must have been doing a vast amount of "general reading" the last winter, for in a short account of a visit to the Packer Institute he has introduced quotations from Virgil, Moore, Mother Goose, Tennyson, Milton, Shakespeare, and St. Paul...
...work. The Freshman crew especially labored under disadvantages, having lost one of its best men to go in the "University," and then, with several men unable to row from some reason or other, they could not present the six who did such hard work in the Gymnasium during the winter.

Then, too, there is the Boston Art Club, where frequent exhibitions are held during the winter months, to which admittance can with little trouble be obtained. To a real enjoyment of good pictures the technical knowledge of an art critic is by no means essential. In fact, the cardinal quality of a work of true genius is, that it commends itself to the appreciation of those ignorant of artistic...
