...accidental discovery; or, rather, I should think it unfair not to do so. The disregard of conventionalities is probably not confined to resident graduates. I may also mention that a book set apart for English 6 was gone this morning, and can probably be accounted for in the same manner...
...English colleges and by all the English schools, and what school-boys at Eton or Harrow can do, surely men of our College can do, if they will do sufficient training and work together.

Any man who was present at the Freshman match, and heard the hearty applause with which good plays on either side were received, knows how entirely untrue any charge of bullying is. We do think that it is hardly necessary to clap...
