...particular style of speaking is favored by the College authorities, it should be made known, both to the competitors and judges. If excellence alone is desired, no matter what the nature of the piece spoken, both judges and students should know. As things are now, there is doubt about the whole matter. The Professor of Rhetoric himself says everything depends upon the taste of the committee...
...PHILANTHROPIST in doubt where to invest his money for the greatest good of the public would have had his doubts dispelled if he had passed the Bursar's Office at any time on Tuesday night. The sight of nearly a dozen men sitting up all night to secure some of the poorest rooms in college because they could get none in any other way, would have moved a heart of stone, to say nothing of the heart of a philanthropist.

That Otis is the best man for stroke we have little doubt, but we question seriously the policy of placing Wetmore No. 2, and changing two of the strongest men in the boat over to the side they are not accustomed to row on. Bacon and Taylor may be able to put as much strength into their stroke on one side...
