...Cultchar" did this, and probably to excessively great development of the aesthetic on one side and too little on the other, much of the present obfuscation is due. From some quarters, now that the deed is done, much unavailing regret is heard in Seventy-seven. But never yet, as far as I have been able to ascertain, has any amount of lamentation succeeded in transferring the milk, once spilt, into the pitcher again. It now remains for seventy-eight to say whether more milk is to be spilt next year...
...far as we have heard, the programme of the annuals meets with better satisfaction this year than those publications are wont to receive. The class of men who are desirous that the order of examinations should be published early have no just ground for complaint; and the plan of putting the examinations in the Sophomore required work in the middle instead of at the end meets with decided favor.

Horace and Coleridge both suffer in this number...
LAST Saturday's races were a great success, so far, at least, as concerns the interest taken in them. The new system that has been adopted - of closing the entry-book the night before - has given much satisfaction to all the boating men; it avoids endless confusion on the morning of the races, and affords the captains of the different crews time to draw the lots properly. Rather contrary to expectation, the entry-book was well filled on Friday evening, there being thirty-four names entered for the six-oars and thirty-two for the four-oars. There...
