...become, with one or possibly two exceptions, that we see every reason for advocating their installation in several dormitories, such as Matthews and Grays, where no effectual attempt has been made to interest the College authorities in the matter. In the Senior dormitories, the conditions are peculiar and we doubt whether common-rooms are necessary. However that may be, we do feel that the occupants of Matthews and Grays have showed poor spirit and lack of enterprise in pushing an innovation which has not only proved successful in other buildings, but also an innovation which the Regent and other College...
Most of the undergraduates undoubtedly feel that it costs too much to run our sports. The minor teams, which are on their own resources, have to economize strictly, but there is no doubt whatever that expenditures for the football and baseball teams, if not for crew or track, could be cut down largely by careful and business-like management, without hurting the teams.

The Columbia defense was unusually strong, and as a result the University forwards had very few opportunities to shoot...
...obvious truth in regard to the poems of Longfellow, that while they would have been of value at any time and place, their worth towards the foundation of the literature of a new world was priceless. The first need for creating such a literature in America was, no doubt, a great original thinker such as was afforded us in Emerson. Yet Longfellow rendered a service only secondary, in enriching and refining that literature and giving it a cosmopolitan culture, providing for it an equally attentive audience in the humblest log-cabins on the prairies or in the more distant literary...
