...second run of the season occurred yesterday afternoon and was unusually successful. The scent lay fair and even, and only once were the hounds seriously at fault, and then through their own short-sightedness. The hares, A. T. Dudley, '87, and Dana, '88, started from the front of Matthews at 4.20, and they were followed after the regulation interval by a pack of thirty hounds with Webster, '87, master, at their head. The track lay first through Prof. Norton's woods and the grounds at Sandy Hill, then into Somerville, up over Winter Hill and through the back yards...
Although it has been the custom in past years to offer to the students a course of voluntary evening readings the readings which are offered to us this year far surpass in interest those which have been offered for several years.

...concerning the actions of the bursar. There has long been felt throughout the college a dissatisfaction at the conduct of this gentleman toward the students. Many of his acts have bordered slightly on the tyrannical with no rules to support them. It is true that in past years, and even at present, perhaps, some of the students have irritated the bursar by their strenuous efforts to acquire rooms despite his efforts to the contrary. Notwithstanding this, the innocent should not be made to pay the penalty due the guilty. At least there should be formulated a set of rules governing...
