THE STUDENT AND THE sol. DIEY.

Since the best colleges have at last connected
physical culture and manly sports with thestudy
of ttte,s, (Which entitle the graduate to the IT,
tie of Master Of Arts Of which no is wholly ig-
norant,) there is something agreeably RETROSPECT
tive for tho student in entering life to refer to
such days. They recall what is better than
sheer hard study in season and out Of season,
with its attendant dyspepsia, low spirits. pf1lo-
sophie unrest, religious melancholy, aud relief,
perhaps. in tobacco and brandy-smashes. We
aprop0s--knew ease Of an slumnus who would
never visit college where he had studied, be-
cause Of the painful associations it excited.
Hard toll and prizes there had been-but the in
fernal place was situated in the mountains out
Of reaching distance Of, o river or Lakeland he
had no place to swim his mile in summer or
skate bis ten miles in winter, and under the dis
nensation of such authorizations, his health

We are led into this train Of thought By en-
countering q solid pamphlet under the title OF
Harvard College, class of 1861. First Trisn.
NAL Report, July 20, 1864. Printed for the use
of the class" This memento has been prepared
by "the class Secretary" and affords internal
evidence that college days were jolly as well as
studious, and that tho body was cared for as
well as the mind. Mons sana IN corpore sdno;
it must have been so otherwise so many Of the
class would not at the first tap Of the drum have
rushed 10 the rescue, with firm muscles and
stout hearts to second them in the unequaled
fatigues of the soldiers life in the fierce
campaigns Of this war--which if we may believe
The London Times, is carried Oh with sam
culinary fury, ob5tinucy. snd extent unknown
even TO the colossal contests Of modern Europe.
Our Harvard pamphlet contains little biogra-
phies Of the ex-boys. These are arranged
alphabetically. The secretary has afiectionately
collected notices of their careers and where
abouts--how they rave got married, and espec-
tally how they haven't; and in fact he has made
charming llttlo souvenir for q large circle of
early hearts to dwell upon. Let us quote
specimen of the biographies at the beginning:
