...that it has been decided that there will be no Freshman race with Yale this year, the disposition of the money subscribed for their crew must be considered by the Freshman class. It is a subject which does not need great consideration. The money was subscribed to support our interests in a contest with Yale, and the natural disposition of it would be to place it in the hands of the treasurer of the H. U. B. C. We cannot imagine any objections to this course. It is well known that the support of the University crew will...
DEAR JULIUS, - Let me warn you at the outset that I am going to bore you with some very sage advice, of which I sincerely trust you stand in no need. You are, by this time, fairly introduced to life at Neophogen, and are probably piously thanking Heaven for casting your lines in such pleasant places.

...hope you go regularly to the President's receptions. Nothing educates a man more than refined society. I need not tell you to shave and wash before going into the presence of ladies; for etiquette is a required study, and all this you will learn when the time comes in your Sophomore year. One or two little rules, however, at the risk of being prosy, I cannot refrain from giving. Never use tobacco in society, and remember before entering a drawing-room always to chew cloves or something of a similar nature. Be particular in little things; do not throw...
