...regulations are so very complex that it is hard to give a general idea of them, but one sees at once that the Unions are much more extensive and business-like than anything we have at Harvard. Each Society owns the building it occupies; at least, I infer that Oxford does. The President of the Cambridge Union writes that their "present building is large and extensive, and embraces a library, debating-hall, closets and offices on the ground floor; a magazine room and writing room on the second floor; and a smoking and coffee room and reference room...
...occasion we have no wish to criticise; though from the reports the papers have brought us we should infer the absence of some of the older colleges and their salutary restraint on the ebullitions of undergraduate boyishness.

The Student condemns his practice in words which are strong, but not too strong. The only poem in this number is a short but pretty one, called The Prayer of Phidias...
...last Cornell Era is a bright and interesting paper. From it we should infer that their ardor is not at all dampened by their ill luck at Springfield. Boating at that college seems to be in an unusually vigorous condition. A regatta is to be held there on the 11th, for the Tom Hughes Cup and for an elegant and expensive cup offered by Mr. Cluck, '74, - an editor, we believe...
