...employ janitors in the College dormitories, and that the experiment will be tried in Holyoke and Matthews next year. It seems to me that this plan would benefit no one, while it would do a great injury to the scouts now employed, who are very honest hard-working men. These scouts are in our employ, subject to our orders alone, and we, if dissatisfied, can always discharge them. Should janitors be appointed, we should still pay, but the College would employ, and in their attempts to serve two masters, one must suffer, and we should be the one; our dissatisfaction...
...last moment we hear with pleasure that the Athletic Association will hold a meeting on Friday afternoon, May 24, at Beacon Park. Sufficient time is given to enable men to train well and get into good condition; and since the prizes are to be of value, we hope to see the events performed creditably.

For further particulars we refer...

It looks to them like employing a retainer who will perform the function not only of scout and attendant, but also...
ATHLETICS.IT is comforting, in these trying times of Lawn Tennis and utter indifference to all things athletic, to see that there are still a few men in college who have the energy and courage to train for and enter in athletic sports outside the college. The action of Mr. Simmons, '80, in entering and starting in the mile-race at the Y. M. C. A. sports held in the Music Hall, as a representative of this college, is worthy of all praise and imitation. Messrs. Cushing, '78, and Benham, '81, entered in the fencing contest, which Mr. Benham...
