...inappropriate for us to make the few remarks, that this time of the year always suggests, on the manner of conducting examinations. We have already published some advice to proctors, which doubtless will not be heeded. We hope in addition that the rooms where examinations are held will be kept at a respectable temperature. Neither a very cold nor a very warm room is favorable to prolonged mental activity. Again we hope that instructors, proctors, and students will treat their examinations fairly. "College honor" is no thoughtless phrase, and it should appeal to everyone who would be called a "College...
...enough to base a sensible bet on," says the Courant moodily. If the bets alluded to were those made by Yale men last spring, we must allow that the Courant is quite correct, - and adversity probably will bring circumspection with it. However, the fact remains that Yale men were kept in the dark themselves about the possibilities of their teams, and not only was the public often made to believe that a Yale team was weak, when in reality it was strong, but the college itself was half the time deceived about "its" merits.

Well done, Lampy. Serve a few of prae-Adamite cold dishes, kept in your frigid zone, with new year's sauce, and win our most hearty thanks...
These college sports should be kept within proper and safe limits. There is President Bartlett, of Williams College, in the dry docks with a broken arm, caused by falling on the ice, and Professor Sumner, of Yale, in the ditto with a ditto, caused by falling off a bicycle. It is high time the students held a meeting to consider how far it is safe to allow the faculty to go in their reckless love of manly sports. - Elmira Advertiser...
