...Higginson spoke first. He did not think drinking intoxicants a sin in itself, like murder and theft. Nobody can call it such a sin. Some claim that intoxicants sharpen the wits, which is not so, and is couriously inconsistent with common facts. Often at our dinners the brightest speeches are made by the cold water men. Following are reasons for total abstinence, (1) every young man should seek to make the best of himself and avoid all the risks (which are great) of intemperance; (2), he should aim at simplicity of habits, striking the key of his life moderately...
...service. So young men to-day entering into the war of life may be kept from success by small temptations and weakness. The struggle of life requires physical and brain power, as well as the loftiest kind of morality. Drinking is more a sin against self, a sin like gluttony, licentiousness. The brain not only rules the body but it is dependent upon the body; so that an injury to one injures the other. Drinking is largely the first cause which fills prisons and asylums.

Now, the time for small beginnings and meagre accommodations is past. The large and growing body of students demands suitable surroundings. The Annex is waiting, like the Bartholdistatue, for the public to realize its need of a substantial foundation...
...fact, it will be impossible to have any races this spring, unless, a large number of men come forward from the college, for the Bicycle Club is not allowed this year, as in years past, to invite to the race riders who are not college men. Last year, men like Hendee and Frazier were invited, and a splended exhibition of riding was given at the spring races, but this year the contestants must be college men. There is no reason, however, why we should not have an excellent race among college men, if the riders here take hold...
