...much experience in this matter should assign subjects wholly beyond the capacity of his class, or should expect them to write "North American Review articles." The criticism not only is a reflection upon him, but is not sustained by an examination of the subjects. That they are subjects which cannot be written upon without some knowledge and thought is evident, but that this should be urged as an objection against them seems nonsensical. If each writer was obliged to take up his subject without any previous preparation, it might require more time than he could afford, but among so many...
...very unfortunate that the weather this week has prevented foot-ball practice in the field, as the result of the match with Princeton last Saturday showed the weak points in our team, and proved decidedly that men cannot play well together in a game if they have not been faithful in their practice-work before the match. There are a great many details in passing, and tricks in dodging, which the Princeton men have mastered, and which we trust our men have now learned. The match to-morrow will be well worth seeing; and we can only hope that...
...perfect harmony of the meeting was, however, slightly marred by one matter, which we dislike to notice, yet cannot pass over in silence. In spite of the efforts of the Committee, certain members of the class apparently resolved to run a partial ticket of their own, and sought, by combinations, to secure its success. If this was so, and there seems to be conclusive evidence that it was, it deserves the severest reprehension. The fact that certain persons attempted, by extensive canvassing, to secure the election of their favorites, might in itself be undeserving of blame; but when the class...

It seems to us that the college ought to take immediate steps in the matter; the expense certainly cannot be much, and the convenience to us would be great; besides having our mail delivered, we should be able to get to dinner without fear of tumbling down a flight or so of stairs...
...shall take steps to settle this point at once, and if the measurement is wrong, it will be rectified in the early spring. We regret extremely that any such mistake, if mistake it prove to be, should have occurred, but men seem to forget that fast time cannot be made on any track unless they really train, and if there was a single man in last Saturday's races who had trained himself into the pink of condition, we failed to notice him. Several gentlemen have ridden over the track on their bicycles, and their cyclometers make five laps...
