...last paragraph of the report deserves especial attention. Complaint is made that the old custom of each man at the training tables paying what his board had previously cost him, has for some unknown reason been abandoned, and that now it is sometimes difficult to collect any money for board at all. We had always presumed that certain conscientious scruples would prevent a man, although a member of a university team, from living entirely at the expense of the college, and that as a matter of course, he would pay at the regular training table what he had been accustomed...
...their fatness at the Adams House Saturday evening. One of the most unsatisfactory features of our college life is that every athletic victory brings with it disagreeable consequences; that every bright cloud, so to speak, has its dark lining. Can not an individual be a freshman and a man at once?

...French in every respect. The motive of a son trying to get money out of his father is embodied in "Le Medecin malgre lui," along with other elements of interest that become almost as conventional with Moliere as the plots of Latin comedy grew to be; but the ignorant man who beats his wife, and is in revenge given out by her as a most skilful doctor who will not consent to practice until he is soundly beaten-this is the farce motive of the piece, and in such hands as those of Moliere it is most potent for mirth...
