...assistant treasurer stated that the debt of the club had been increased about $1,200 during the past year, and that it would require $4,000 to pay off the debt and support the crew for '76-'79. Last year was necessarily a very expensive one. To the large amount of money (about $2,000) paid for new boats was added the expense of keeping the crew for weeks at a training-table while still in Cambridge. The receipts from college subscriptions were about the same as in former years, but there was less than half the usual amount received...
...editors of the Advocate have just published a volume of poetry, selected from their columns of the last ten years, and we have to congratulate our contemporary on having produced a most admirable book. The selections amount to a little over a hundred pieces, consisting of songs, descriptive pieces, translations, and sonnets, some humorous and some serious, but all relating more or less directly to undergraduate life.

An examination of the treasurer's account will show that while the expenses have been larger than usual this year, the amount which has been asked for from subscription-lists is much smaller than in former years. It is evident that care and economy have been used in the management of the Nine, and if the five hundred dollars they ask for is readily subscribed, there is good reason to believe that they...
...chemistry. The effect of this system is twofold: to make the Freshman year very disagreeable and expensive to those students who have not mathematical minds, and to fill the pockets of private tutors, who expect a large compensation for the disagreeableness of the occupation which they pursue. The excessive amount of mathematics required in the Freshman year is profitable alone to the tutors, who reap a rich harvest before every examination. The proof of what we say may be found in the number of students who are obliged to spend large sums of money in order...
