...nose of a barge issuing from the boat house. Now, how is the crowd which will surely assemble on the Anniversary Day to see the races comfortably? How will they see them at all? How will their lady guests see them? We should advise the Boat Club to build a row of seats on the point opposite the boat house, like those on Jarvis Field. The privilege could easily be got from the proprietors of the field, and much larger crowds would visit the boat house at the annual scratch races, and at the spring practice of the crews...
...word on celebrations in general may not be altogether out of place at this moment. It was made apparent by the freshman celebration on Monday night that celebrations can be made enjoyable without being obnoxious. This being so, why skulk about the yard till twelve o'clock, to build a bon-fire out of two soap boxes and an old hat? Does it signify exuberant joy?

It seems doubly hard to fail to draw a room when the unfortunate applicant sees the long list of lucky sub freshmen who have been more fortunate than he. It is a fact that out of ninety six assignments of rooms, prospective members of the class of '90 drew forty-six. It seems to us that a system which allows nearly one-half of the rooms...
