...students lose in Dr. Peabody, moreover, not only a kind friend, but a positive benefactor. Many needy young men, without regard to rank, used to receive from him annually sums ranging from fifty to one hundred dollars. It was understood that he received funds from wealthy friends for such aid to needy scholars. It now turns out, however, that by far the largest amount of these funds was given to Professor Peabody - by Professor Peabody himself; in other words, that with the departure of our pastor from the College, it loses one of its most effectual benefactors. Greatly...
...that College exercises close to-day, April 5. The Bursar's list of rooms for which students can apply will not be ready for delivery until April 6. In other words, if any one wishes to obtain a list of rooms for which he can apply, he must either lose one day of the brief recess or wait until his return.

Sal Biceps will never make a good oar : back's too short; all her strength lies in her arms.

Umph! that will never do. They took that bridge well. Now they're gone, Min, let's go up to the Square, and have a game...
...waging bitter war on the question of a college paper's right to publish official communications. The Yale News appears to be seriously alarmed at the indications of a "brace" by Harvard in athletic matters. "When Harvard braces it means that there is work ahead. We cannot afford to lose what we have won." The Sun that visits Cornell daily is disposed to be a little obscured by clouds, we fear; and the Era does not continue in brotherly love . . . It is a pleasure to praise the Exonian, one of the most modest of all our exchanges...
