...appearance of the schedule of Annual Examinations is always awaited with interest, and is received with regret or delight as it happens to mar or favor the plans of the undergraduate. Last year the order of the June examinations was not made public until the 18th of May, and constant complaints, the natural outgrowth of this delay, appeared in the College papers. This year the Registrar has anticipated any similar complaints, and has printed the provisional schedule four weeks before the Annuals begin. The generous regard for our comfort and convenience, which has thus been shown by the members...

As the Athletic Association desires to be represented at the Intercollegiate games at Mott Haven on May 18, there will be trial-races on May 16 at Beacon Park to select those who will be sent on to represent the College. For further particulars we refer...
...they contain cannot be too strongly emphasized. This is the season when hard work is most fatiguing, and yet most necessary. An ambitious student, trusting to the approaching vacation for rest and recovery, is tempted to strain every nerve, and, before he is hardly conscious of his danger, he may do himself irreparable injury. Even the strongest constitution and the most faithful exercise will not enable a man persistently to deprive his mind of needful rest; and if he gives to study the hours which belong to sleep, he must sooner or later break down...
