Usage:

...tramway - I mean, horse-car - been on the Continent so much - a good deal." As the entire faculties of '82 seem to be concentrated in an effort to meet only "nice fellows," I thought the matter would interest them all; so I told my young friend that he might look for an answer in the next Crimson...

...courses for this year, I was surprised and disgusted to find what a long walk it was to reach the Botanical Garden. Now, as I took this course under the impression that it was soft, and as this walk takes away all the softness that there might otherwise be in it, I think it no more than right that the distance should be decreased in some way. It is not right that the time of sixty or seventy men should be wasted twice a week by such a long walk as the distance now is. Either let the College...

And with this end in view would it not be possible to use eight-oared shells for the fall races? We believe that there are now some five or six such shells on the rests at the boat-house, which might...

BICYCLING.In view of the number of bicycles now owned in College, it would seem that some very interesting races might be arranged for this fall. If one or two men are regarded as invincible in an even-start race, a system of handicaps should be introduced to equalize the chances, and induce more men to enter. In this connection we will say that we offer a cup for a handicap race to come off whenever the track on Jarvis is ready, and to be a distance of two-mile heats, best 2 in 3, with a proviso that seven...
