...been spared the unfortunate experiences of certain other colleges with this disease. At the present time with the system of frequent routine examinations of the water, milk and food supplies of our dining halls any epidemic is practically out of the question, yet sporadic cases acquired from outside creep in. Students almost without exception, take some food and water from other places than their regular eating place. Furthermore, in the summer, which is the typhoid season, the student population scatters and with the characteristic activity of young men their excursions are often extensive and lead them into conditions of improper...
Every amateur theatrical production has its faults and the noticeable falling of "Robin the Robber" lies with the orchestra. It is unfortunate that the professional element is not allowed to creep in at this point, for the orchestra is the backbone of a musical comedy. Murray Hall, however, conducted extremely well for an amateur and undoubtedly the music will improve under his leadership. The dances of the chorus were uncommonly clever and pretty; the female principals were likewise, and the masculine principals were never overshadowed in ability. Yet this is not all, for lighting and costuming are added with...
...race between the dormitory crews, and an equally thrilling finish in the club crew race furnished plenty of excitement for the second day of the regatta. Getting away together the three second dormitory crews rowed the first quarter-mile side by side.

Four boats lined up for the second heat in the competition for the Filley cup, which was won by the third Eliot crew...
...through, for a year at least, with being a literary safe-deposit vault. Under the new board it appears bent on emerging from those purple shades where the pleasant but inconsequent art of canning the "best literary product of the University" has mildly flourished. It has tried to creep out before, only to be thrust back by a surprised and somewhat upset graduate board. The present venture seems to combine in better, certainly less vulnerable, degree the qualities of life and literature. The October number seeks to view and criticize the world within and without, yet with the decorum long...
...clock. Harvard had the better of the start, and quickly opened a three-quarter length lead; then when the stroke settled to 40 a minute for Harvard and 36 for Cornell, the University crew held its advantage as far as the Harvard Bridge. There Cornell had begun to creep up and soon passed Harvard, although still rowing a lower stroke. Below the bridge both crews were greatly handicapped by the rough water. At the finish, the University crew made a short spurt, which partly cut down Cornell's lead, but crossed the line a length and a quarter behind...
