...natural, then, that the appearance of this important work should be awaited with interest, and that, when it is issued, it should be carefully scrutinized and sharply criticised if found to fall below the standard of its predecessors. This year the students have been subjected to a most vexations delay in obtaining the Index. It now lies before us. Can it be said that its excellence is commensurate with the amount of time spent in its preparation? Hardly, we are constrained to admit, for the present volume certainly does not surpass the efforts of previous editors, and we note some...

As this committee had almost a month to accomplish its work and as the faculty had already granted us one delay, this last request was naturally refused. We regret that inter-collegiate foot ball has been prohibited, and this regret is but intensified when we are informed that to all outward appearances, every effort was not made by the students' representatives...
