...case rests on even firmer ground than this. The Convention made no rule in regard to Freshman crews; so, even on the supposition that Freshman Clubs are subject to University Clubs, they would still be free to act just as they themselves saw fit. Does the Republican say that in the rule concerning the composition of " University or representative " crews, the word " representative " is applicable to Freshman crews? Then must it also maintain the absurdity that any " candidate for the degrees A. B., Ph. B., " &c. can row in a Freshman race...

...school of the wild, the metaphysical, the intensely poetical poets, who commune with their shape-teeming grates, and draw deep thoughts from their beer-mugs. The poets of this school are carefully excluded - in their wild moods - from the papers of the Eastern colleges; but in the free and unbounded West they flourish like so many green bay-trees, and rack their brains for metaphors which would set Pope's teeth on edge could he hear them; but they have at least the poetic spirit, and are apt to make fewer metrical mistakes than their more sensible and prosaic compeers...

Hodges made the very creditable score...

...will here state that, though the article was necessarily written in great haste, our opinions in the main are still the same; and we regret that our space will not allow us to explain and answer this week. The Anvil's own sportive account of the Convention is scarcely free from a certain "one-sidedness" that it complains of in others. The paper is interesting, and all the articles well written, though the subjects are foreign to college affairs...
