Those who fill the position not only represent the students here, but also are held as representatives of the University, in a certain sense, by other universities and colleges; hence, to do credit to it needs not only good literary ability, but straightforward manliness, sound judgment, and integrity."

...GEORGE S. SILSBEE, stroke of the Junior crew, recently had the misfortune to dislocate his arm, which accident rendered it necessary for him to withdraw for a time from College. It is very much to be regretted that he will be unable to fill his place in the crew when he returns. The Freshman crew have sustained a similar loss in A. B.

No, this truly was not an imposing spectacle; even the excellent singing, so pleasant as a relaxation after the strain of a debate, was insufficient to fill the vast recesses of the hall, and the little band of musical devotees in one corner was a truly touching sight. To cap the whole and leave no room for indecision, the President and Faculty concluded that cigar-stumps were too tempting a sight to Freshmen to insure proper attention...
