...reasoning. On such a question opinions are determined, not so much by the spoken reasons (such as on Harvard's part "unfairness to the smaller colleges," and on Yale's "fitness that the two races should be rowed on one principle") as by feelings, customs, prejudices. Every one will allow that races between University, and between College or department, Freshmen are both very good things.

Several new songs were introduced, which were...

Still, we feel in duty bound to present No. 7 to our readers, and will here state that, though the article was necessarily written in great haste, our opinions in the main are still the same; and we regret that our space will not allow us to explain and answer this week. The Anvil's own sportive account of the Convention is scarcely free from a certain "one-sidedness" that it complains of in others. The paper is interesting, and all the articles well written, though the subjects are foreign to college affairs...
