...tries to make you, who always wear laced shoes, believe that the Combined Bootjack and Towel-rack is an indispensable article, lingers as long in the room as the man who sells Bibles. Let no one infer that I think that students should not give in charity. Without doubt they might make the best possible use of some of their spare pocket-money by relieving real distress.

We learn that the Pierians are playing even better than usual this winter; while, in spite of many obstacles, the Glee Club will, we doubt not, acquit itself well.

It is thought, too, that "it the regatta crews could be drawn by lot from the undergraduates, so that the chance of selection would call out a general physical education, the whole aspect of the case would be very different." There is no doubt about the altered aspect. The opinion of Professor Hadley of Yale is quoted to the effect that the Yale oarsmen have been so often beaten because they have been good scholars, implying that boating men are, as a rule, poor scholars. Every one having much acquaintance with oarsmen knows that...
