...suggestion was offered in our columns Friday by a freshman correspondent, tending towards the uprooting of the university at large and the disruption of the college proper - in sooth, a very anarchical proposition. It was in fact nothing more nor less than a partial abandonment of the one time-honored "freshman elective" now spared to us. First in the series of changes came the abolition of the May-Day party in which we all used so to rejoice, then followed other deep-seated and revolutionary reforms, including the suppression of the horrible rites of Bloody Monday Night...
...first number of the Epoch, a new weekly published in New York, has appeared. It contains a large number of interesting and well-written articles, contributed by men of no less distinction than Carl Schurz, Mr. Stedman and Prof. Boyesen. The editorials are written in a conservative spirit, and treat the great questions of the day in a sensible, moderate way. The book notices are particularly copious and well done. If the Epoch continues as it has begun, the editors may feel confident of having supplied a need that was felt in the journalistic world...
...appraisers of the estate, have returned into Suffolk County probate their inventory. While it does not reach $1,000,000, the official appraisal makes it a large estate, which eventually, in the rise of stocks, may reach the million limit. Many of the stocks and bonds are appraised less than their market value to-day. The total appraisal is $739, 487. 66; $714, 821. 53 being personal, and $24, - 666.66 real estate. Among the items of personal property are $237, 864 railroad bonds, railroad stock $312, 527, bank stock $52, 860, manufacturing stock $30, 874, other corporations $20, 625, city...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: It may seem somewhat rash at the present time to suggest the formation of another club. None the less I should like to do so. The departments of French, German and the Ancient languages have a Conference, a Verein and a Classical Club. Why should there not be an English Literature Club for the benefit of men interested in English, whether taking courses in it or not? It seems to me that an organization embracing both instructors and undergraduates would do much towards removing grounds for the ocmplaint of deadness in the English department. The undergraduates should...
...first horn of the dilemma we wish to avoid as long as possible, the second is scarcely less disagreeable. But the statement remains true that out of the whole class only eight men ever tried to do anything for the college press, and of that number but five have as yet satisfactorily demonstrated their fitness for more than mediacre work. Why such a state of things should be is almost inexplicable. The small amount of work required of an editor upon any one of our college papers certainly brings more than its due reward in the pleasure and experience gained...
