...class of newspapers which publish every bit of scandal they can hear or invent; but we had hoped that the influence of these papers had not reached the college press. In our last issue we had occasion to take the Courant to task for ungentlemanly writing, or, as they call it, wit; this week we have to call the same paper to account for publishing a statement wholly false, - a statement which no college paper should have published without first having verified it. As for our Nine, every one of them was in bed in good condition...
...must expect little sympathy. They went to New Haven confident themselves of making at least a close game of it, and carrying with them the unbounded confidence of the College in their complete success. Had they been beaten in a close and exciting game, we could be patient and call it hard luck; but they have not even this poor satisfaction to offer.

...wish to call the attention of all those in any way interested in boating to the pressing need in which the Clubs stand at present, of an increased membership. Many think that they would rather postpone their subscription till next year; but we must remind them that it is very likely that there will be no clubs next year to join. By the arrangements which have been made with Mr. Blakey, and on which the existence of the clubs now hangs, unless about eight more men join each club and pay their money this year, the club-system must...
