LTHOUGH in college class-room work 1 the odious system of re足 views and re-reviews is more and more becoming a thing of the past1 yet it still seems

be considered necessary that the col足

lege annual should open with one of these same melancholy reviews, probably to offset the effect of the half-concealed vein of light and trifling humor which is supposed to run throughout the remainder of the publication.

Not but that, according to popular estimation, the review

should be as irresistibly funny as aught else between the covers of the ORACLE.

Some hapless editor is expected to dig over, like a rag-picker1

the heap of refuse details which have accumulated in a year's time, and from this dry and dusty mass of forgotten and outcast material to extract a store of facts and incidents that shall be rich and juicy as well as en足 tertaining and instructive.

Yet not for a moment must fact be sacrificed

to fancy, or truth offered up at the shrine of pleasing fiction. something puzzling about all this.

There is

We confess that we can see nothing

particularly amusing (for all it may be ludicrous enough) in the fact that the Senior electives are a repetition of tbe studies of the Fresh足 man year, nor even is there anything essentially mirth-provoking in the fact that there has been chosen a new Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy.

And yet it is just such side-splitting witticisms as these

which must make up the body of the review.

Confessing our inability

to reconcile such an incongruity as has been pointed out above, we content ourselves with submitt.ing to our readers a plain, unvarnished statement of the leading events which have made up our college history for the past year. Only one well acquainted with all the circumstances regarding Prof. 13

That a man should graduate from

college at this day with as little knowledge of French or German as i

possessed by the present classes, is a severe reflection upon either

the curriculum of tho college, or its standard of requirements for ad mis ·ion. The library has been in the cheery state o( almost complete stagna tion.

Not but that there bas been use enough made of the facilities

which it offer , but that the provision for maintaining these facilities at their present relative grade of excellence is so absurdly inadequate to the demand.

Few gifts of any importance have been made to the

library during the pa ·t year, while even the poor annual pittance of 500 ha

The professorship of theology, left vacant by Pres. Chaplin, was

and it is a fact calculated to inspire

gratitude and contentment in the hearts of the present Faculty that a perceptible advance bas been made in the amounts of salaries since that time.

Pres. Chaplin's salary was fixed at eight hundred dollar

and bis house rent, w hile the more modest professor of theology was fain to con tent himself with the magnificent stipend of five b undr d dollars annually .

Its debts had been greatly increased by the b uilding

FAIR STREAJ11 : How geutly at the break of day The coming light i l l umes thy way, Thy waters lie so l'Ool ancl deep A

if thy heart were fast asleep.

Antl cold and white the mists arise Like morning incea e to the

kies.

Beneath thy banks the waters flow -or yet return the morning glow. The flowers that bloom upon thy breast Are opened now and lie at re t .

So pure t h y look, s o white and fair, As if an angel had been there. The rosy flush of Li fe's fair clay Ha

thrown it

And Hope ha

light aero

our way

openetl many a flower

To make life sweeter for an hour.

110

At noon, beneath the summer sun, How calm and st.ill thy waters run. The plashing oar with dripping blade Glides back and forth beneath the bade. The wood-bird iugs be ide her nest That m irrored floats upon thy breast. And in the water flowing by, The fleecy cloud reflected lie. In after year when manhood' noon Ha brought it burden far too soon The plash of oar will oft recall Tho e halcyon day of early fall, And bi.rel that ing along the shore Bring back the day that are no more. Within the heart the fragrant flower. Shall oft recall tbe youthful hoiir . W hen eYening hadows l ow l y fall. Aud from thy bank the robins cal l , T h e idler in t h e drifting boat Incline hi head to catch the note ; That dear olu ong so sweet and clear, It fi l ls the woodland far aucl near.

Or, if your intellects, whetted by logic, Fail to discover advantages wondrous, Be i t denied to the frail and the fickle, That they shall enter these chamber of genius, Answer, ye sages, and settle the question.

o frequently is Webster c i ted as authority i n Conrts o f Jw,tice that one Reponer sent us a I ist o f twen ty-seven such cases from o n e State, and h e wrote : " I presume I could collect five times as many from the Reports o f other States."

o tr n d i m i n i. bed is the demand for Webster's Spellers that over a million copie , were sol d i n 1 8 0, and this is about an average year's sale.
