...build fires, etc., will be obliged to engage the janitor for those purposes. The occupants, moreover, who have washing done in Cambridge must have it done by the family. Or, in the words of a Boston paper, "Holyoke will be managed in every way like a first-class hotel, except that no meals will be served." The object of the proposed change is to exclude from the building persons who do not belong there, and to make the property of the students more secure. The measure is looked upon by some occupants of the building as extremely arbitrary...
...Barker was born at South Hanson, Mass., and was 35 years old at the time of his death. He graduated at Brown University in 1861, and during the subsequent years of his life, except when sickness forbade, was engaged either in the work of teaching or in studies which had that work in view. From 1862 to 1866 he was an assistant professor of English studies at the U. S. Naval Academy. In 1867 - 68 he was an instructor in rhetoric at Brown University. He went to Europe in 1866, with the design of fitting himself for the work...

The first remedy, of course, if practicable, removes the necessity of the second; if it is not practicable, as probably will be the case, by having the crews use the barges between 5 and 7, ten more men will have an opportunity of rowing between 3 and 5. Last autumn, when the crews were training, no ten men at 3 o'clock would take...
...Union nails her color to the mast, we tremble before the awful probability that things will be mixed. There is little danger of a Harvard student's being taken for a Union man, except by those who were "raised" in the immediate vicinity of - we believe it is Schenectady? - but the Union students may expect to be often taken for Cantabs, next summer, and must cultivate their modesty for the occasion...
