...absence of testimony against students, faculties have had to govern their course largely by general circumstances, incidental evidence, personal observation and numberless other details perhaps insignificant in themselves but which go to make up the chain of evidence. That there is danger of injustice being done under this method is admitted, and the conscientious fear on the part of college faculties of committing injustice will perhaps largely account for what seems strange to the non-collegiate public - the little punishment there is meted out to students in proportion to the number of offences committed...
...more "science" had been displayed in the latter, while retaining the same amount of vigor and pluck. We believe that while boxing may be pleasant for our lady friends to witness, "slugging," or any approach to it, should vigorously be excluded, and, therefore, we hope that next year some method may be contrived by which none but feather-weight boxing will be permitted on the First Ladies...
Another change that this year has brought in the examination papers lies in the different method in which they are to be marked.

The team as a whole has been doing good work during the past month, perhaps better than ever before. Every day, soon after four o'clock, the running and jumping squad begins exercise on the chest weights. This is followed by jumping, vaulting and light dumb-bell exercise. As a large development of muscle is not conducive to lightness and speed, none of the exercises are long continued. They are expected to give the men suppleness; and without strict training to prepare...
