...starvation and death. There is a good deal of truth in this. We are so enamored of free institutions that we never like to do anything without the sanction of parliamentary forms. And when we find ourselves interested in any subject, instead of investigating it by ourselves, we look about for some kindred spirits, to gather together and vote that the subject is worth investigation. This is particularly noticeable in college. Independent action is altogether out of fashion, while organizations exist for the furtherance of almost every-object that the mind of man can devise. And of these organizations...
There are other arguments, practical and moral, in favor of this plan, too numerous to be given in this article. It seems to me that from whatever standpoint you look at it this arrangement is desirable. It is politic, fair, and just, while the present plan is impolitic, - since it is uncertain of success, - and is eminently unfair and unjust to a large number of students...
...England, one from Blakey, and one paper. Of these, the College will certainly get one, probably that from Blakey; for the paper boat, we can hardly hope; but the boat from England, where the building of shells has been most perfected, is imperatively needed, and for this we can look only to graduates; and it is to procure this that their assistance is sought.

Then, when our crew, defeated, deserted, and disorganized, were left to row the Saratoga race in the racked and worthless boat...
...meeting of the Athletic Association on Tuesday evening was attended by only about twenty men. Officers were elected, but nothing more was done. We regret that this was the case, for we look to the H. A. A. for another winter meeting this year. The time immediately before and after the semiannuals is the most monotonous season in the whole nine months we spend in Cambridge, and anything which breaks the monotony is truly a godsend. The meeting of the Athletic Association last March in the Gymnasium was in the main successful, and we sincerely trust that we shall...
...moment devour us all, is the hour-examination system. We all remember the first adoption of this system; how innocent the idea seemed when first presented to us, with what care it was nursed into stronger life. Did we not honor and bow down before it, and look to it for unnumbered blessings? Then it was a small and tender thing, but now it has grown, - ye gods, how it has grown! The plan as first broached had a pleasant sound in one's ears, and so long as we had but one or two examinations in a week...
