...University eight appeared on the river last Monday for the first time after their housing during the winter months, - a day earlier than they did last year. The men that pulled were: Crocker, Brigham, Littaner, Jacobs, Stow, Schwartz, Smith, stroke Bancroft, and coxswain Allen; and, considering that it is the first time for three months that they have had oars in their hands, they pulled remarkably well. The boat first went down the river, then turned and passed the boat-house, and was greeted by a "three times three" from the crowd which had come down to see them...

...course we poor undergraduates are not expected to see its merits, as, indeed, we do not, though its faults are patent to all.

Of what works we have duplicate sets (Bancroft, for example), only one set is reserved, so that some man gets hold of the other and holds it till after examination. If we are informed rightly, there is but one copy of Luden's, one of Giesebrecht's History of Germany, one of Stith's Virginia, one of Brodhead...
