...considering the second point, it is right that the College government should pay some attention to public opinion. If it is thought that our religious feeling can be strengthened by such a regulation, by all means let it be done; but it must be done in the best way. Outside of our Faculty there are very few people who are qualified to point out the best way. Every one knows that to nine tenths of us the present system is a perfect farce, and is therefore positively harmful. In Oxford and Cambridge, whence so many wonderful changes are expected, there...
...Saturday, May 30, the Class Races came off over the usual Charles River course, and when we compare them with former years there seems to be no reason to feel discouraged at the issue. There was a noticeable want of training in one or two crews, but this was due to ill-luck in forming the crew rather than a want of work.

A threadbare poem opens the number; there is also a poem on "Nosorora" or some such sonorously named female, the whole idea and gist of which is that a girl was going to have a spread and was drowned just before partaking of it. This original plot is clothed in seventeen verses of "full-orbed moon," "castle gray," "quiet stream," "gloomy pall," etc., etc. How long will it be before students will learn that mere permutation of high-sounding epithets to form...
