...which is done the body of undergraduates by the action of the Faculty prohibiting the nine from playing with professionals, has often aroused indignation in the past. Numerous attempts have been made by the students to obtain the rescindment of the obnoxious regulations, but all have been in vain. Hitherto, attempts have been confined to undergraduates; no concerted action has ever been taken by the Alumni of the University. It is of especial credit to the Alumni that the present movement was instituted, not at the instigation or by request of the undergraduates, but among themselves. Coming from a body...
...Before 1865, it was usual to give a jackknife to the homeliest man in the class, a cane to the handsomest, and a wooden spoon to the man who ate the most. Shortly before this year the plan was abbreviated somewhat. The wooden spoon was given alone-not as hitherto to the man whose gastronomic powers were best developed-but to the most popular man in the class.

The point of view which his lectures, whose titles appear in the college calendar to-day, will take is a novel one, and of such a nature as to appeal to the layman as well as to the scholar. We trust that...
...Turning Point" is a fairly good story, though one might wish that a theme that has been so well worn in the fiction of the modern and the ancient world and which our college papers have hitherto avoided as though by a better instinct, would be left to the treatment of master hands only. They might possibly be expected to show this episode in a new light. The melodramatic dens ex machina in the shape of a "golden star" is a bit wearying...
