...often doubted whether college students as a class ever maintain an active interest in the current events and discussions of American politics. An interest in the details of party management, in the workings of the spoils system, and in the glories of American stump oratory and buncomb is hardly to be expected of them.

All the events peculiar to in-door athletics, which have been so interesting and important a feature annually, under the auspices of the Athletic Association...
...often see a funny phrase in some of our exchanges which we do not understand. "The coeducational members of the college," etc. What are "coeducational members?" How are they different from other students? "Strengthen us, enlighten us, we faint in this obscurity...
