THERE will be a football match next Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, on Jarvis Field, between the Sophomore and Freshman Tens. The plucky kicking of '78 promises a close game...
...would remind the class of Seventy-seven that a few more numbers of the Magenta will close this volume; that at its close the Editors of Seventy-five withdraw from active duties on the board, and their places will be supplied by Sophomores. With the writing of some of the class we are already acquainted, and are satisfied that there is ability there which will assure the success of the Magenta.

The lower story is spacious enough to accommodate all the club boats, and each club has a range of rests for itself. The upper story will eventually be partitioned for dressing-rooms. And now the crews are commencing work which will decide whether the handkerchiefs at the front shall...
