...subjects thus far assigned for junior Themes have certainly possessed little interest or attractiveness in themselves. It may be part of the instructor's plan to train men in writing upon barren and uninviting subjects. We doubt if this is so, however. If not it would seem as if the list given out for so large a section could easily be extended. The field from which selections might be made is practically boundless. The list of subjects given out at other colleges as announced in the local college papers proves this fact. In default of other resources we should imagine...
...their names for the reading room at once before the book is closed. It ought not to be a difficult matter to obtain a hundred names, and yet it now seems as if the project would fall through entirely, as only about half the required number have signed. No doubt this is partly owing to the fact that many are unaware of the fact that the committee are prepared to receive subscriptions, while in many cases the pleasant weather has caused the students to forget the many dull winter hours yet in store for us in which the possession...
...meeting on Thursday night for the purpose of forming a shooting club was a success so far as the numbers and enthusiasm of those present are concerned, but we think a little friendly criticism of the action taken by the leaders of the movement may not be inappropriate.

Their generally just treatment of questions of college interest vindicates their right to a free expression of opinion, if they have any right to exist at all. That this is now a generally accepted belief is indicated by the almost unheard-of interference of college faculties...
...hard earned victory, considering the almost total inability of the New York's to pick up the ball, and the terrorizing recklessness with which the Yale men brandished their sticks. At 12 the Druids, of Baltimore, and Harvard faced one another. If, at first, there was any doubt in the minds of the Harvard men as to the ability of their opponents to play lacrosse, it was soon dispelled by the ease and certainty with which the Druids managed the ball. They were sure in picking up the ball, good in throwing it, and above all could dodge...
