...procession which is to march to the Independent rally in Boston next Wednesday evening, seems to me most reasonable and proper. The drum corps was organized to march in whatever procession the college should vote to turn out in, whether that should be the Republican or Democratic. The brass like-wise, would have paraded in the Democratic procession if such had been the decision of the college. Both the drum corps and the band are made up of Blaine men and Cleveland men indifferently ; and since the college this year is so equally divided in political preferences, if seems...

If '87 and '88, as they undoubtedly will, decide to carry a transparency bearing the result of the canvass in their class...
Under the old regime, a student, in order to receive promotion, was required to obtain an average mark of 40 per cent, on his year's work ; and men who were unfortunate enough to receive conditions, could secure their removal by attaining a like mark in such courses. The present change in the regulations makes it obligatory on students to reach an average of 50 to be entitled to promotion, and also demands that half the maximum reached in a course must be obtained to ensure the removal of a condition. This change is a step in the right direction...
