Another article, in the same number, and of the same description, begins, "The Spirit of Liberty was abroad." From indications in other parts of the paper, we should judge that the schoolmaster is hard upon the tracks of the S. of L.

AN innovation in college journalism was the publication, at Yale, of the Iconoclast, a paper - of which we do not expect to see a second number - entirely devoted to a bitter condemnation of the "Skull and Bones" society. That Yale has been crippled in more than one way by the evils of her society system is acknowledged by many of her own students, but we doubt if the Iconoclast will work a reform. The only really important charge it brings against the society is, that it prefers its own interests to those of the college, and this it does not prove in a satisfactory manner. That it is sensible of the weakness of its own position seems to be shown by the irrelevant nature of some of its articles; one, for instance, being devoted to ridiculing the "Bones Initiation," of which the writer evidently knows very little, and which cannot, as far as we can see, affect the well-being of the college. The charge of favoritism on the part of the Faculty towards "Bones" men is a more serious one; of its truth we, of course, have no means of judging.

A CERTAIN professor, whose chin was wont to be graced by a flowing beard, has lately returned shorn of every vestige of his hirsute appendage. A Soph., meeting the aforesaid Prof., after a prolonged stare, and with a knowing wink to his Senior companion, burst out with "By Jove, that's the hardest-looking Freshman I've seen yet." - Era
