...examiner in question to publicly correct them. The Freshman who complains of the loss of his Greek Grammar paper had two other conditions in Greek, instead of no other, and his book was never found at all, instead of being traced to the examiner's hands. Great care was taken, in this case, to have no mistake made, and no blame can be attached to the diligent Greek examiner...
...janitors and their corps of assistants, vice goodies, is a success, and we do not intend to fall into the error of making any bold assertions about the matter just yet; merely a suggestion or so will be enough. Some have complained that the rooms are not well taken care of by the new goodies, and there is ground for the complaint.

Though the class of '78 exerted an elevating and manly influence on the college, and were characterized by good scholarship as well as by conviviality, they will be missed more as individuals than as a body. The Nine lose a captain whom it will be very difficult to replace. Many...
