...student could acquire the experience given to law students in the moot-courts of the Law School. An interview with some of the best known and most experienced journalists of Boston, which it has been my good fortune to have, would convince one to the contrary. In their opinion such a course would be of no practical use whatever, unless a model newspaper office was established, and that is an impossibility. There is no system that can be taught outside of an office, for hardly two newspaper offices in the country are run on the same plan...
...excuse for not having had a run on some one of the many beautiful days we have had. The Bicycle Club supports a president, captain, and sub-captain, and I fail to see why some one of these officers should not have called a run long before this. The opinion seems to prevail among members of the club, that if the management does not wake up this spring, the death of the Bicycle Club will be recorded next year...
...closest contests which have occurred for years between the compe titors for the Boylston prizes. Although as usual some surprise was manifested at the award of prizes, this surprise has come to be one of the concomitants of our Boylston declamations, and arises rather from a diference of opinion than from any exception to the justice of the award.

...rightly take precedure of a college contest, especially as to relegate them to Jarvis field, and to deprive them of more than half the support they would otherwise receive, will be very demoralizing. Now we would suggest to the officers of the H. A. A., that if, in their opinion, it is inadvisable to hold the sports on another atternoon this week, they should begin the meeting as soon as possible after 1 o'clock on Saturday, and "lump" some of the events, so that several of the more tedious exhibitions, (as throwing the hammer, putting the shot, the mile...
