...them, and that they only serve to tire people by bringing them here so early in the day. To this the answer is simple : the oration and poem have been a part of Class Day as long as there has been a Class Day. Every one knows what to expect of them, and year after year it has been impossible to supply with tickets all those who would like them. The rush at the Chapel door, after the Seniors have gone in, has become historic. Surely it cannot be the general opinion that this part of the day only bores...
...their uniforms, or the newspapers chronicle the result of the game; and soon another subscription-paper is circulated to pay a deficit. Now what the College wants is a full statement of where every cent of the money subscribed has gone; and this we have a right to expect. While we have no word of complaint to utter against a single club, we think it eminently just that every treasurer should keep, for the benefit of those who help to support that club, a careful account of every expenditure, and that such accounts should from time to time be made...

...heartily glad that it has been done. Columbia, much disappointed at Cornell's backing-out, is anxious for a race, and seems willing to place herself at some disadvantage in order to get one. Her situation this year is a peculiar one, and she had thus some reason to expect from Harvard that courtesy which has now been shown in accepting her challenge. She should remember, however, that only this year is she thus situated, and that only for this year is her challenge accepted. Harvard cannot be expected to row two races every year; and the wisdom of excluding...
...goodies are not wholly to blame for the wretched way in which they do their work. What kind of attention can we expect a woman will give to sweeping and dusting, who is paid only forty cents a week for the care of each room under her charge? The trouble lies in the parsimony of the financial managers, who prefer to employ the untidy, clumsy, unintelligent Irish at the rate of fourteen or eighteen dollars per month (in proportion to the number of rooms cleaned), than to secure, at slightly higher rates, neat, careful, and efficient workwomen...
