...estimate of crew expenses published this morning, is the first of its kind which has ever been made, and is an outcome of the inquiries recently instituted by this paper. Its object is to place the financial affairs of our most important and costly athletic organization before the students, that they may see 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...
...well worn, and well hacked one. We now need no argument for it. All are agreed on the first point, at least-that drunkenness is an evil, and an evil that all should seek to avoid.

Any person approved by the Executive Council may become a member of the association by the payment of three dollars...
...eight in science; and no freshman is allowed to take more than two courses in one department. In this connection the subject of required themes and forensics is touched upon, and reasons are given for the recent change in the system. It is also stated that the ultimate object of the faculty is to restrict the required theme writing to the sophomore year. From this point on, 20 pages are devoted to a sketch of the changes which have taken place in the college curriculum since 1823. From this it appears that the development of the elective system has been...
