...similar disturbance this year will probably be the stopping of the concerts by the College authorities. The singing of the Glee Club on the steps of Holworthy is one of the most prized of our student customs, and men should take care not to bring them into disfavor by noisy and absolutely unnecessary demonstrations...
...zeal and enthusiasm. The standard of debating has been generally good, and the members are earnest and sincere in their efforts to do well, and to return the defeat of last year.

Patience ceases to be a virtue after the fiftieth chapter has been printed and the persistency of the publishers looks to us like obstinacy. It is time Mr. John Seymour would withdraw from the public gaze; let him retire and digest the notoriety his story has brought...
