...novels, on what ground we cannot conceive, unless it be that novels are not worth reserving; and it is to this restriction that we refer. The idea that novels are not as valuable as other works is certainly erroneous, for some of our greatest scholars advise, and themselves practise, constant novel-reading. But apart from its literary value, a novel may be as necessary to a student as the dryest text-book in writing a theme, on some great novelist, for instance. We sincerely hope that the annoying restriction may be done away with...
...MORE cordial and hearty reception than the one given at Princeton last Friday and Saturday our Nine could not ask. From the time when they left the cars to the time when they were cheered on their homeward trip, they enjoyed the constant escort and attention of Princeton men. As soon as they reached Princeton a lunch was served for them at the hotel; they were taken in carriages to the ball-ground, and throughout the game were treated with a courtesy which might be imitated to advantage by the spectators who sometimes throng Holmes Field.

This year the Registrar has anticipated any similar complaints, and has printed the provisional schedule four weeks before the Annuals begin. The generous regard for our comfort and convenience, which has thus been shown by the members...
...given up. It was a course that could ill be spared, and our only hope is, that it may prove to be the mysterious Graduate course announced by Professor Gurney. Dr. Young's departure for Europe necessitates another change of teachers in the electives Professor Adams formerly had. Such constant change is discouraging, and makes us hope that the rumor of Professor Adams's return may prove to be true. The electives in Oral Discussion and Modern German Literature have already been announced with more or less comment in the College papers. Some disappointment is felt because the former elective...
