ALEXANDRE JAMELLIER, Moore's Block, will give lessons in fencing and single-stick until the 1st of June. He has been eighteen years in Cambridge...
...have had our attention called to the fact that some few Juniors intend to give spreads in their rooms next Class Day. There is no question but that every man has the right to retain the use of his room on Class Day, and give a spread, too, for that matter; but it has always been customary for the lower classmen to do all in their power to oblige Seniors on that day and to make it a pleasant one for them.

It would certainly seem for the interest both of the clubs and of the individual members that some such reform as this be effected...
