...where it stands, and what it expects to do with regard to money matters. The estimate is very clear, and shows a state of affairs much more favorable than we had hoped for. While we still differ from the management in regard to the need of some of the minor expenses, we cannot but congratulate them on the business-like way in which they have set themselves to work to make the current expenses less than the assets, and also to reduce the debt very largely, instead of increasing it. The current expenses of this year will be much less...
...attention possible to college happenings, are but students, after all, and have the same amount of college work to perform as their more fortunate brethren who are in no way connected with college journalism. Obviously, then, it is impossible to secure for publication all the events of minor importance unless we are aided by the college at large. It can be but a small amount of trouble for a man to write out anything of interest and deposit it, signed with his name, in the box at Leavitt and Peirce...
...occasional grey head served to show that the graduates of longer standing still retain their interest in the sports of their college days.

This made it necessary for the referee, Mr. O'Reilly to do this himself, something which we have never seen done at a winter meeting before, and hope never...
...benefit from his power to read Latin and Greek, he ought to be able to derive that benefit from the classical readings which have hitherto given so great pleasure to us all. There is always danger that in the hurry and distraction of reforming a great system, the minor parts of the system under reform will become useless through neglect. We cannot allow the present notable absence of classical literature in the evening readings to pass without remark. We can comment upon this side of the classical question which has nothing to do with requirements, with perfect freedom, and feel...
