...parts of the paper can seldom be applied to the same individual; "child" and "frequenter of lager-beer saloons," too, are equally inconsistent. However, the writer of the communication is evidently a lady, - we beg pardon, we mean a co-ed, - perhaps the editress. How should she know that children do not frequent lager-beer saloons? It is natural, too, that she should feel hurt at being told that there are no men at Boston University. We acknowledge that the Beacon has proved conclusively that there are both men and women at Boston University. We should not say, however, judging...

...greatly to be feared that unless immediate steps are taken to revive the interest in the sport it will die an easy death. It has been too often shown that the average undergraduate mind thirsts for novelty, and is attracted for the time by anything new, just as younger children are fascinated by some new toy. Class races and club races having now palled upon his appetite, might not an entire change of diet tempt his palate? And with this end in view would it not be possible to use eight-oared shells for the fall races? We believe that...
