...navy will realize over eight hundred dollars from the premiums alone paid for the best seats. We cannot help being struck with so admirable a method of raising money for the crew, and feel bound to recommend it to both our Glee Club and Crew managements. There is no doubt that the old way of getting money is carried to excess, the subscription method is a burden, and ought to be done away with; but money must be obtained in some way or other.

...work done by college instructors is altogether proper. A professor's life is not a life of ease, as business men delight to describe it-it is a life of hard work,- year after year, and these men deserve more gratitude than they have ever received. We have no doubt that before long Harvard will give Columbia another chance to show her liberal spirit, for the salaries of instructors are unjust, and the subject will doubtless presently receive due attention...
