...more launched. It will be remembered that this is the boat in which the present vice-president of our Boat Club, with the assistance of Mr. Faulkner, last year heroically rescued from drowning a man whose shell had capsized. The craft will be moored at the float, for the general convenience of the H. U. B. C., and under the careful and experienced attention of the vice-president, it will hereafter be regularly used as a life-boat. This assurance of means of rescue all ready in case of accident will satisfy an imperative need of beginners in the noble...
Drury was founded in 1873, on the principles of co-education.

It is about time that these popular fallacies in regard to the qualifications of college editors were swept away." - Cornell...
...granted them as great if not greater than that accorded in any other institution of learning in this country or in England. For this the Faculty have deserved, and have received, the appreciation of students. The childish habits of hazing and rushing have been entirely dispensed with, and the general improvement in tone among members of the College has been everywhere apparent. There are some respects, however, in which we are still behindhand, and occurrences occasionally take place which border upon the puerile amusements generally confined to the smaller colleges. Society initiations of a rough character originated among the boys...
