...still we cannot ignore the fact that great advantage is gained by a Freshman section from instruction by a professor once a week. Still the supporters of the measure, in citing the precedent of a similar plan successfully adopted in Latin and Greek, seem to have called to their aid an example not wholly analogous; for men come to College with a considerable knowledge of Latin and Greek, derived from four or five years of preparatory study; while the men in the Freshman sections in German have no such foundation, and are all practically beginners. So, while we can readily...
...students lose in Dr. Peabody, moreover, not only a kind friend, but a positive benefactor. Many needy young men, without regard to rank, used to receive from him annually sums ranging from fifty to one hundred dollars. It was understood that he received funds from wealthy friends for such aid to needy scholars.

The Boat Club is very much in need of money, as it will be obliged to move into better quarters than those occupied last year, when it goes to New London. There is great likelihood that it will be necessary to raise additional...
...prove this, if proof were needed; but, when we consider the number of students whose special pursuits are connected with this study, and the still larger number who have a general interest in the subject, we need not search further for evidence that the course is desirable. As an aid to the intelligent appreciation of art and the more thorough knowledge of athletic development, the study of anatomy is of no little service; and even to those who have no special artistic or athletic bent, ignorance of the constitution of the human body is often very galling. We need...
