...cannot agree entirely with the writer in this week's Crimson in his argument against the desirability of Freshman crews. Upper-classmen are apt to monopolize the places in the club boats; but the men who rowed on the Freshman crew in their Sophomore year are in capital trim to take the places in the boats of the men who have graduated. Again, men in the Freshman class are more sought for to make up a class crew by a captain of their own class than they would be by the club captains, who know what some men are worth...
...Juniors intend to give spreads in their rooms next Class Day. There is no question but that every man has the right to retain the use of his room on Class Day, and give a spread, too, for that matter; but it has always been customary for the lower classmen to do all in their power to oblige Seniors on that day and to make it a pleasant one for them. Class Day, by its name, would seem to point out the impropriety, to say the least, of an entertainment of any kind not conducted by a Senior...
...desirableness of an elective in the New Philosophy which has been discussed through the columns both of the Magenta and the Advocate - yet discussed at much less length than the interest felt by upper-classmen demands - will not be overlooked, we hope, in arranging the philosophical courses open to us next year. It is not for us to discuss here the soundness of any system of Philosophy; but we wish to point out one or two arguments in favor of an elective in the New Philosophy which appear to us convincing.

...doing, they would cause the chances of the Freshmen to be put in great risk; and both crews, instead of one, would be compelled at the last moment to take on substitutes, thus doubling our risks at the regatta. There ought to be, and are, we think, other upper-classmen here who could safely fill the position of substitutes on the University. The only consideration that should lead the University to choose substitutes from the Freshman crew is that of the most imperative and absolute need...
...class which has left this as its valueless legacy; the custom is, rather, of long growth, and confirmed at every step of its development by ample testimonies to its necessity. So long ago as 1800, at least, a need was felt of some record of the lives of fellow-classmen about to graduate, and a member of that class purchased a book, in which he wrote out brief accounts of his fellows. This became more or less a habit, and the Class-Book of 1806 has now been returned to the Library, on the death of the last member...
