which, being interpreted, means, "Harvard University, alas! too near the Mabille Garden." To be sure, it is not yet within easy walking distance. To the ardent and inquiring youth one cannot yet answer, "Second turning on the left, follow the crowd and there you are"; but still it is too near to make both ends meet comfortably on an allowance of $2,000 a year...
...this time it is doubtless generally known that the Freshman race between Columbia and Harvard has been given up. The action of Columbia, although to be regretted, seems to have been unavoidable. According to the statement of Captain Webb, he had not enough men (only seven, including substitutes) to fill the places in the boat, and therefore it was impossible for Columbia to row the race now.

That students in Harvard College should steal the property of fellow-students - overcoats, hats, or umbrellas - is something to be deeply regretted. The recent discovery of a student who had been taking his meals for a week at the Hall at the expense of the Association shows, however, that there are some among us who will...
