...elocution has not been of any perceptible benefit to a single student. The primary cause of this is the meagreness of the instruction given, and the secondary cause is the method adopted by the instructors. Fifteen minutes a week to the student, if he be a Senior or Junior, is little better than nothing, and unless a different arrangement is made next year, it would seem advisable to keep up the farce no longer...
...proposed would insure more general satisfaction. Instead of allowing fifteen minutes, which, in reality, are not more than ten, to one student, the instruction should be given to sections, say of six, during an hour. By this means several advantages would be gained. All the students, I mean the Junior and the Senior classes, would have an opportunity to receive a proportional share of the instruction from the beginning of the year.

Williams, '81, were waiting to compete in the Junior Scullers' race. At the word "Go," Williams, who had the outside course, took the water first and got a lead of half a length, which he doubled during the first quarter. Holder then caught up, by a long and steady stroke, and at the half-mile passed Williams. From this...
...PARAGRAPH in the last Advocate declared that there was much dissatisfaction over this change in the order of speaking for the Boylston Prizes, on the ground that the Juniors had been despoiled of the advantages of their rightful position, the last. The reason why the last place should be deemed the better is probably because the judges are believed to be less critical towards the end of the speaking than at the beginning. The change, however, is not so unfair as it may seem. The present Junior class will have their turn at last place next year...
