This year every person who draws a room and signs an agreement must pay the whole rent himself, whether he uses the room or not, and he cannot transfer the room to any one else, or allow any other student to occupy it. No transfers of rooms are allowed, except in case of exchanges, and rooms which are not wanted can only be disposed of by surrendering them at the Bursar's office. By means of the new regulations we may look forward to a more just division of vacant rooms this year. As the number of applicants will...
...Brunonian explains that Brown has determined to send no crew to Saratoga for the following "simple" reasons, which cannot help being "satisfactory to the most ardent friend of Brown or the dullest intellect": first, one of their best men could not row, for reasons not made public, and of course they would not send a crew which did not contain all "their best men"; and secondly, they owe "quite a sum" for last year's expenses, and wisely consider that it is best to incur no new debts until the old ones are paid...

There are men among us who, seeing that their fellow-students cannot afford new clothes, flaunt their gayly-colored garments in the faces of these very fellow-students. There are men who smile with self-glorifying complacency on their velvet chairs, who fill their rooms with rare works of art and literature, while they know that there are hundreds of others who cannot do likewise. There are men who, having been favored with early...
