...misunderstanding, as it seems, between the faculty and students, the preliminary arrangements for the election of delegates from the students to the college conference committee, have not, as yet, been attended to. This matter should suffer no further delay. According to the scheme of conference, student delegates were to be elected in the second week of the college year. This week is already upon us, and yet no move has been made. We have learned from the faculty that the students are the proper body to take the initiative, and we would therefore suggest that the officers of the three...
...otherwise to the college newspaper man. He feels the public pulse and recognizes the needs of the students for some object of care and interest. And there is to-day one thing which demands the active attention of every student who feels an interest in the matter of importance to the welfare of the whole university. An annual cry goes up from the office of the Co-operative Society over the paucity of members and therefore of money. Last year its echo was heard throughout the year. This year cry and echo are blended. No society, however meritorious, can subsist...
...manner of wills at the time and the condition of the language, or at least the condition of those using the language. All the important wills are printed in full in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register for July, 1885.

The time for the election of delegates to this conference from the three upper classes is fixed in the second week of the college year. It is appropriate, therefore, to urge the members of these classes to give the matter careful thought, so that the success of this plan will not be endangered by the choice of incompetent, non-representative men. Many vital questions may arise in the coming year that call for a strong and earnest expression...
...might have had their exercise on the water. The crew men and those within the aquatic circle sorely regret this state of affairs. Strong efforts to revive boating interest will be made. Just what direction these efforts will take it is not now possible to say. The matter is being quietly discussed. It is not improbable that next spring a return will be made to sixes in the class races, on the ground that enough good men cannot be had for an eight. It is likely, too, that an eight-oared race between the Yale and Harvard freshmen will...
