DURING the week previous to the opening of term, nothing of much importance has happened in the College world. The all-engrossing thought in most minds has been to get settled. From the stir and bustle outside, one would think that every man had changed his room from last year. A few quiet men are seen either idling, or paying the penance of previous injudicious idling, but the majority are chiefly occupied with superintending the movements of the "blameless Ethiopian" moving furniture from last year's room. There has been, of course, the usual amount of hand-shaking among faultlessly...
...keep, for the benefit of those who help to support that club, a careful account of every expenditure, and that such accounts should from time to time be made public. If the expenditures are found to be necessary (as it is presumed they will be found), students will subscribe much more readily; and, besides, this plan will accustom us to those business ways which we must get into the minute we step beyond college walls, and which it is best to begin here...

FEWER strangers were in Springfield at the time of the Columbia race than at any other College regatta ever rowed there, and comparatively little interest was taken in the event; but on Friday a much larger crowd and more intense interest was everywhere to be seen. In regard to the merits of the three crews, it was generally considered that Yale's form was the best, but Harvard's muscle much superior to that of either of her opponents; while Columbia excelled only in pluck. Before the Yale race came off, however, Harvard made rapid improvement, and at the time...
