...clubs and for the alumni of the West that the petition for a western trip has been granted. The faculty has taken time and trouble to make a careful decision in the matter so that here after similar petitions may be quickly reported on.

The seniors perhaps show the best form at the present day; their blade work is not very bad on the whole. The juniors are new, clumsy and heavy. Whatever may be said against them little can be brought out in their praise. The freshmen are new and excessively rough. No opinion can be formed of them; they are very heavy. The sophomores looked badly yesterday. They...
