...cast aside and some work accomplished. The class of '90 made an unenviable reputation in base-ball, and if '91 is trying to follow that illustrious example she can do no better than continue on her present foolish course. The members of the freshman class can deal with the matter after the defeats have come, but now the whole responsibility lies on those who are fit candidates for the team...
...anything, not even about his subject. Now there is much co-operation between the instructors and students, which is fostered by the departmental clubs and reading rooms. The greatest difficulty in the way of a proper understanding between students and faculty is lack of information. There is much printed matter, furnished gratuitously, which is not read.

Much is done. The great majority, of whom little is heard, are developed...
...great help, and, although removed for some days, it will be news to most of the students, who supposed that the Boat Club was, indeed, $1,800 in arrears. The remaining amount can be raised in a short time if the college will do its duty in the matter...
