Barnum's.PROVIDENCE has of late been exceeding kind to our beloved University in preserving to us the lives of three of the Holworthy Aristocracy. These gentlemen were visiting Barnum's World's Fair at the time when the terrific tornado struck the canvas palace, filling the hearts of all with terror and consternation. Amid the howls of the affrighted animals, the shrieks of women, and the thunder of the elements, they rushed round (as did several thousand others) with a stoical indifference to their personal peril, and besought all to calm themselves. It was owing to their superhuman exertions that...
...should probably meet with discourtesy and contempt. Now I am not particularly troubled because the man next door keeps a very large dog. If he enjoys it, and the raw meat is not too expensive, I am not concerned. But when that dog bowls in loud and dismal tones late into the night, I begin to wish him in his native kennel. I never call upon this neighbor of mine, for his animal is very fierce, and always unchained...
...fellows whom I don't even wish to know, all because of this new idea, so prevalent among the Faculty, of abolishing class distinctions and discouraging class feeling, and of making the privileges of the Freshman even greater than those of the Senior.

What then? Must we make our little college world "hard, cold, and avaricious," too? If such...
...Williams Review, in an editorial, gives an account of and discusses the late boating convention. In an appreciative manner and a very amusing style, it depicts the disgraceful confusion that there prevailed. The performance it describes as consisting of two pieces, - a carefully prepared farce, entitled "The Packed Committee," and a burlesque, "A Freshman Unmuzzled." Throughout the piece its spirit is well sustained, and its roughing efficient. An extravagant view of the matter, however, is only taken in speaking of the ludicrous position which many of the colleges were made to hold in voting against their own interests. As regards...
...cannot be surprised at any construction that can be placed upon the loosely worded rule made at the late Boating Convention, but we confess to a hearty surprise at a bit of information in the Courant. It seems that a consolidated nine is to be picked from the Scientific and Academic Freshmen to play our Freshman nine in the match which is soon to take place. We fail to see what right Yale has to do this. All previous Freshman matches have been between the two Academic departments, and there has been no other arrangement made for this year...
