...State or almost outside the immediate vicinity of Cambridge can be on the Board of Overseers. The College has a large number of prominent graduates who live outside this State, and there is no reason, now that communication is so easy, why a graduate living in New York or even farther off than New York should not serve on the board. In the President's Report for 1874-75 two pages are devoted to the policy of widening the geographical influence of the College; and the Cincinnati examinations show this policy to be accepted by the Faculty. If there were...
SOME time since it was suggested that the boating-flags be placed in Memorial Hall. The flags have been removed from the Library, where the dust was allowed to accumulate upon them, to even worse quarters in the boat-house. As the flags recall victories which have been won, and suggest others to be won, there could be found no more appropriate place for them than the one in which they would be seen so often by so large a number of students.

The favorite dance seemed to be the "dignified lancier," and it was only at half past three that "the most enthusiastic dancers agreed that the Navy Ball of '77 was over." We thank the Era for giving us an insight...
...take the more fortunate case, where the examinations are pleasantly sprinkled all along the dusty road, oases as it were in the dreary waste of college life. Even there, I claim, the time is not sufficiently long. To properly review the work of months within three weeks, without "exhaustive toil and midnight oil," is generally impossible. The ambitious student grinds and digs his health away, while the "bummer," secure in the thought of no recitations to-morrow, spends the days in sleep, the nights in "howls...
