...last item credited as net debt is provided for by unpaid subscriptions to the amount of $1,347.50, as shown by the Treasurer's list; thus showing a balance of assets over all present liabilities of $963.05, which amount properly should stand to-day as cash in the Treasurer's hands. The probable expense for the coming race with Yale may be put down as $1,500, which should cover all the cost of boats, training, &c., for the crew themselves show a determination to the strictest economy. To meet this outlay of some $600 we have the promise...
...grind of the narrow-minded sort, who studies all the time on the lessons which are set him, but whose mind is chained down to the recitations that he goes to from day to day. He studies French or German perhaps, and takes the highest place on the rank-list in those studies; but to read anything in either language besides what is read in class, is an idea that never enters his mind.

The programme will be found below, and, as can be seen from it, their list of events is very nearly the same as that of our own spring and autumn meetings. It seems to us that it would be an excellent thing for the winners, at all events, of our spring contest (which we understand will take place about May 12), to enter themselves...
...journal, making comments on Harvard and Yale, sets itself up as champion of such an inane course as refusing college aid to such students as "drink, smoke, dance, or play billiards," we are forced to believe that the writer either has an eye to the paper's country subscription-list rather than to the convictions of his own conscience, or else possesses a fund of facile gullibility and eremitical unworldliness which is totally inconsistent with the reputation and position of the New York papers. While we have no desire to enter into an elaborate discussion on the wisdom of prohibiting...
