Next came in a gentleman who was worn nigh unto death by over-work. He was a Professor, and said: "Young man, your project is laudable. If you maintain a gentlemanly tone towards the authorities, and admit no carping criticism of our conduct, the whole Faculty will be glad to write for your paper.

...method of registration by which each student is expected to report three times each week to the Proctor of his building, or some other authority in case he does not room in a Proctor's building; this provision is made to prevent non-residence of students. We should be glad to see real voluntaries given to the College, which of course means the abolition of a meaningless roll-call, but cannot judge of the system of registration until further details are made public.

...glad to confirm the report that Mr. W. A. Bancroft, '78, will be able to coach the University Crew during the entire year. Every one knows that this is one of the seasons which are sure to come every three or four years, when the crew is composed, for the most part, of new men, and when there is all the more reason why their training should be most carefully looked after.
