...classes has increased, and influenced, perhaps, by the humanizing spirit of the times, if there is such a thing, have come to look at the subject in the light in which it has long been regarded by the graduates of the College. Last year, by a skilful opposing of one college tradition to another on the part of the Faculty, the classes of '75 and '76 were led to promise entire abstinence from hazing; and for the faithfulness with which they have kept this promise they are deserving of praise. '77, too, with a consideration which has won for them...
...enlarged, more specimens of certain species had to be obtained, and a some-what different organization in the laboratories had to be effected. These things were successfully accomplished. The services of a gentleman from Zurich, Switzerland, have been secured for the lecture-room; also those of Mr. MacCready, one of our own naturalists. The laboratories will be under the supervision of Mr. Faxon. Notwithstanding the fact that Professor Agassiz's time, as he himself says, ought to be spent in recording his own life-long observations, which are not yet on record, he will personally superintend one department.

The Owl's first article on secular education is good as far as it goes, and perhaps the writer did well to leave untouched the knotty and vexatious question of the public schools; but somebody, on page 27, speaks...
...true to her instincts, is having a pleasant little row all by herself. The Yale papers contain very copious accounts of the trouble. It appears that Captain Cook and Mr. Dunning, President of the Yale Navy, do not agree upon all points in boating matters, and, in consequence, either one or the other will have to resign. There is some dissatisfaction among the students at the proposed method of conducting certain affairs, and, as a result, "we see Mr. Cook's opinion disregarded and his candidate defeated"; thereupon, he "resigns his captaincy with feelings of regret...
