...impulse to those already in existence. Within the past year cricket and football have been rescued from their seeming oblivion, and have taken their places beside our staples, baseball and boating. In a past number of the Advocate a club for conversation in German was proposed, and one was almost immediately formed. Another Advocate presents a plea for more whist-playing, and portrays the many delights of the game...
...were it not for the crippled condition of the College finances next summer would see the work begun. It is proposed to raise the roof of the dressing-rooms to double its present height, and to place the office, dressing-rooms, etc., on the second floor.

Among these our writer, provided his production gains publicity, is welcome. But as this uncultivated class is not supposed to exist in the "headquarters" of refinement and intelligence, these remarks apply only in part to those whose present literary efforts are confined to our college journals.
