THOUGH we all know that the making up of the Tabular View is a matter of much difficulty, and that conflicts between desirable courses is inevitable, yet there was one circumstance that I noticed in making up my elective list, which looked like design and not necessity, and that was the position of History 7. This course is one of the most desirable in college, and for those who are particularly interested in history is an absolute necessity, for no man who wishes to be well informed in that subject can be without a knowledge of European history during...
...Spirit of the Times some weeks since proposed in a leading editorial to institute races at the National Regatta like those at Henley, and to call one the "Goodwin Cup," another the "Eldridge Cup." etc., etc., taking in the whole crew and the substitute in as many different races.

...basis, does not seem to warrant the discouraging article in the Advocate of last week. We should think that Mr. Blakie would hardly foreclose this spring, if there was a reasonable chance of getting the rest of his money in the autumn ; and the coming of the guileless Freshman, like the first bird of spring, may be a forerunner of better times for the House Clubs. With this in view, and the expenditure of a little more energy on the part of the club secretaries, we think boating matters will be found to be in a fair condition after...
