...these facts in view every young man has to decide for himself; is it wise or unwise to drink moderately? He who has his mind made up to drink and he who has his mind make up not to drink has a great advantage over him who does not know whether to drink or not. The latter is always on the horns of a dilemma. Dr. Abbott's own advice to any young man would be to regard all alcoholic liquors as medicines...
...called to the lack of opportunity for men who intend to teach to get the benefit of the experience of college instructors. It was shown that a man may understand a subject thoroughly and yet be unable to impart his knowledge to others, simply because he does not know how to do it. Assuming, as one has a right to do, that a large number of college graduates will become instructors, it appeared that a department of pedagogy, or, if a smaller scale is more desirable, a series of lectures on the subject would be of great value.

We assure each and every man of '94 that it will not be amiss for him to enter for Thursday...
...Higginson's gift to the College is fast being completed, and it is gratifying to know how many men even now visit the grounds. With the present force of fifty men, the field will be finished about the middle of next month. At present they are digging trenches all over the 20 acres, in which the gravel from the now levelled banks is put, while the loam thus thrown up is spread 10 inches thick over the entire surface. The dike is being strengthened against the tide; and the few remaining acres beyond will be gradually filled by college refuse...
