...report of the Auditing committee is in many respects gratifying. It shows an admirable administration on the part of most of the officers of the various athletic organizations. All the teams are either very little in debt or entirely clear, and as a whole our athletics are on a better financial basis than ever before. But while the financial condition of the teams is satisfactory, we regret to find that only one, the Tennis association has paid its debts. We fully recognize the fact that the postponement of important games and an average attendance at all have had much...
...result was a love set. Kingsley and Jennings rallied a little in the next set, but could not drive their opponents back from the net, and succeeded in winning only two games.

It would be far better surely that roomrent should be reduced with the college surplus, than that it should be expended in adornment. Any improvements will of course be welcome if they are made in a proper way. As between even a slight reduction of room rent and an iron fence, however, self interest would...
...those of us who are beginning to realize that the promised improvements which were to result from the new janitor system are a delusion and a snare, the second editorial strikes a responsive chord. The better service which we have all summer been persuading ourselves we were to have this year has not yet materialized. And a great many of us miss the old janitors; they understood our ways better than these new comers, and we resent a change which has not conduced in the least to our comfort or convenience...
