...meeting of the Amherst students was held last Saturday to protest against the recent action of the faculty in regard to inter-collegiate sports. A committee on resolutions previously appointed, reported, presenting a strong petition. The preamble set forth the action of the faculty in very emphatic contrast to the recent statements of the president that the college was never better ordered nor the work accomplished more satisfactory...
...poorly supported. "Its buildings are unfit for their purposes, the class-rooms are insufficient and badly heated, there is no accommodation worth speaking of for students, and the zeal and energy so creditably shown by all connected with the university - curators, faculty and students - are painfully mocked by the contrast with the ancient, rickety and poverty-stricked quarters in which learning is compelled to house itself. The State of Missouri has been badly advertised abroad for years. In the older days border raids, guerillas and reprisals gave an unfavorable impression of the state of civilization within our limits, and even...
...consists of a reception room and two chambers, so that they can accommodate two or four students. Each reception room is furnished with a stationary book-case.

It scores a point on the editorial and news columns, which are filled with matter clearly and concisely put, while...
...that the "Mari Magno" in the first number this fall is the prettiest bit of verse we have met with in this review. The wonted dignified conservatism of the Advocate is as prevalent in its verses as in its editorials, and sets it off in a distinct contrast to the other papers. Among the items verses also are frequently found, capital hits, such as would form the literary matter of many another hungry journal. The Crimson, shall we say it, has deteriorated; it is not up to last year's mark, but good verses are by no means rare...
