CIRCULARS are out for the purpose of raising funds to found a young ladies' college in Cambridge. It is to be modelled after Harvard in almost every respect. It will have similar electives and methods of study, and it is proposed to have Harvard professors take the professorships in addition to their present work. It will differ from Harvard, however, in imposing certain severe restrictions upon the liberty of the young ladies, and they will not be permitted to come into our college Yard...
...even of the Library, it does little harm, and sometimes much good, to call attention to the important passages by a pencil-mark. But in works of fiction many dash their pencils recklessly along a paragraph that strikes their fancy at the moment. This is almost always done when alone in a sort of friendly social feeling toward the next reader, and because there is no one present to share the reader's delight!

Again, those of us who want to read the magazines before they fall into the clutches of the professors and are taken from...
...been willing to try for the 'Varsity with the hope of getting on only at some distant date. This was the case when Tyng and Ernst left the Nine. Very few if any had practised with a view of supplying their places; so the loss of these players was almost equivalent to the loss of the championship. It is not the fault of the crew that this is the state of affairs, and while we regret their departure we must blame only ourselves...
