...proper and full college life, one must steal one or more signs-the greater the number the greater the glory. But stealing it is, and to the college at large we doubt if the difference between the undergraduate who "rags" and the Bill Sykes who steals anything he can lay hands on is clear or marked. But though the sign-stealer, with his limited and perverse sense of honor, sees but a little harm and a great deal of sport, the Cambridge judges have long looked on this simple and innocent amusement from a different point of vies. Lately...
...scent was lost for more than 15 minutes and again farther on owing to the badness of the scent and the ingenious lying of an Irishman an equal amount of time was lost. After about five miles of the course had been covered the scent improved. The course lay through Brookline and Jamaica Plain to Chestnut Hill reservoir.

Norton led till beyond Allston with Matthewson and Slocumb just...

The first hound was Fish, '86, coming in 16m. 52 1-2s. behind the hares, who thus win first prizes. Fish, who gets second prize, was followed by Jack...
...great question of the advantages of a collegiate education remains entirely without the province of the debate. Our four great universities, with their many departments and multifarious courses of study, offer a field where each one can settle for himself the pros and cons of the Adams controversy and lay out his course accordingly. To Harvard, Mr. Adams' alma mater, with its complicated elective system, his strictures are least of all applicable today...
