...sake of the few who have the curiosity to read them, it is suggested that some of our instructors in political economy or history step forward and expose the fallacies contained in these pamphlets. That there is, however, any danger to be apprehended from these pamphlets we doubt. We are far from being so dogmatic as to maintain that protection has no legs to stand on, but if the evasions and one-sided arguments of these pamphlets are the best exponents of the protectionist theory, the advocates of this side of the question can by such arguments only injure their...
...Jones is, no doubt, an able and conscientious instructor, and does for the men under him all that his limited time allows. But when one man is called upon to teach elocution - a subject in which there is especial need of individual attention and criticism - to the whole college, satisfactory results can hardly be looked for.

Nobody, at any rate, expects, barring accidents, that the contest will repeat Oxford's last year's victory of twenty lengths. The odds are again on the oarsmen of the Isis; partly, no doubt, because they have once more as stroke Mr. L. R. West of Christ Church, who occupied the same position in Oxford's victories of 1880 and '81. The light-blue has a heavy and powerful crew, of whom much is expected, though thus far their stroke is considered hardly equal...
