...abolition of the present marking system. But the present graduating class need have little care for the marking system, with class day and graduation one period of life closes, and gives way to another far more momentous. Every member of the college next year will doubtless miss some one face numbered in eighty six. But if any class can leave an example worthy of their successors, the class of eighty six has done so. The literary power of the class is almost unprecedented, their scholarship has done them credit; but it will not require a very extensive lapse of time...
...house, Capt. Mahlthrop, is a jolly old soul, and makes everything very pleasant for the crew. The pictures which the genial captain has in his various rooms, are of an unusually uninteresting character, and it has become a custom of freshman crews upon taking possession, to turn them face inwards towards the walls.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - I confess that after all, we have heard about electing a systematic course of study, the elective pamphlet of '87 came as a blow in my face. Brackets have been employed and hours changed in the most reckless fashion. History 9 and English 6 given up, the hour of History 11 changed! I shall now be forced to elect Music 13 and other courses I know in advance to be worthless. True, I am only an individual, and it does not matter much to the college or the world if my education is spoiled...
