EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.- Several years ago the professor was in the habit of visiting our family quite frequently, so that I often came in contact with him. There were a few of the professors at whose homes he was always welcome and he regularly, at that time, dined with us on Sundays. He would breakfast and dine early with others, but at 6 o'clock he would appear at our house for his second Sunday dinner. In the evenings when worked up he was fond of relating how the Turks decapitated condemned prisoners. Standing in the middle of the room...
...candidates, if they know outside parties are to consider their qualifications; more conscientious play by those selected when they realize that their position is not dependent upon the favor of the captain, but upon their own merits; better playing on the part of the captain himself, who now often remains idle, that he may see his men in practice before choosing, etc. As a proof that the idea is feasible, the supporters point to the crew where the plan is carried out to some extent, but they desire a much more comprehensive arrangement, and hope to place the entire management...

Nine cases out of ten the result justifies them...
...subject of fire-protection has been so often brought to the notice of the college, that it seems almost a waste of words to write further upon it. In the light of recent events, however, we are again led to call the attention of the undergraduates who have rooms in the yard to the danger in which they are placed and to the means which are at hand for meeting any emergencies which may arise. It would of course be useless to ask for any better appliances for extinguishing fire or for saving life, and we must therefore turn...
