...anticipated is the interference of the Corporation. In allowing the Hall to be used as a Commons, they reserved the right of vetoing any action of the directors which, in their opinion, endangered the health or financial condition of the association. On the score of health, the Corporation cannot possibly find any excuse for using their prerogative. Nor is there any reason to believe that the expenses of the association would be increased by a change. The steward's salary, together with his perquisites, amounts to quite a handsome sum. Last year a man could have been procured...
...Canada, then the boat-club, and so on, until we are forced to cry out with the poet, "How long, O Lord, how long!" Money is one of the necessary evils of this life, and it needs no argument to show that the various interests of the College cannot stand without subscriptions. For all that, the thing is not to be pushed to extremities; and it might be well for the promoters of the next grand scheme to consider whether our long-enduring community could not manage to exist without that particular sport or what...
...keeper for the race at Springfield stopped his watch when the winning crew passed the line, but failed, for some reason, to consult it immediately: "When it was consulted it was found to be running, and the announcement was simply the judgment of the time-keeper, and as such cannot be relied upon."

The magnificent display of green foliage hiding the gray stone is justly admired by all who see it. But cannot the next graduating class add their mite to this magnificent display without saying anything about it? Will not the vine last just as long if its roots are not watered with a dissertation upon the Whole Duty of Man and the Scholar in Politics...
...side, but other colleges are not so fortunate. The report of the trouble at Williams, if it is true, shows a decidedly disgraceful state of affairs. We shall not moralize upon the terrible enormity of indulging in "cane rushes." This amusement was never popular in Cambridge, and we cannot judge of the pleasure to be derived from it. But the breaking of pledges is a thing not to be treated lightly; it shows a lack of the commonest sense of honor which throws into the shade a disregard of finer points. The long list of colleges at which hazing...
