...Class Day altogether for this year. During the period of uncertainty which the class has experienced many have become reconciled to the idea of doing without a Class Day, and, unpleasant as such a course would be, it is certainly better than some things which may happen. Let us hope that we may yet succeed in having a respectable Class Day: but if this cannot be, let us choose the lesser evil...
...some more noted college" to lend a little prestige to the affair." Therefore they "proceeded to attitudinize in a peculiarly enticing manner before Harvard." "But Harvard had acquired considerable sagacity in its adversity, and probably remembering another (Association' to which it belonged once upon a time, and the forlorn hope it was compelled to lead there by some precocious 'Western upstarts,' it politely declined the proffered honor."

...achievements of the fifteen. Three men - and our three best men - have been hurt this fall in the game. Still the interest is unflagging, and our team still strong. It shows that in spite of drawbacks we are capable of sustaining interest in something, and those who still hope to see our boating record improved may take heart. As usual, our friends in Montreal have overwhelmed us with attention, which we hope to have an opportunity of returning, as far as we are able, next spring...
