Again, we have no means of determining on whom our blame shall fall. Defects may be due to the negligence of officers in not keeping the steward up to the mark, or to the total incapacity of a steward, who, if secure of the Corporation, may neglect the order of those who are really his employers. Neither officers nor steward report to the Association, nor are the proceedings of the Board of Directors made public, in order that we may judge how far each member of that Board deserves our confidence or our censure. And even if it is clearly...
...unapproachable wit and waggery of his "Social Science." At the very outset Mr. Carey like all great men, has to contend with misrepresentation; and we here take occasion to deny positively that Mr. Carey allowed his book to be placed before the world at this time, in order to ruin the sale of Noah Porter's humorous work on Intellectual Science.* Indeed, they are companion volumes, and whoever has read one will not less enjoy the other.

It was stated that the students carefully carried down stairs every article of bedding, while they with equal care threw crockery ware...

By publishing the time and order of the examinations three or four weeks before they begin, the Faculty would give us the opportunity for review which we so much need. The men who had studied would not need then to cram, as they do now, in a manner as unsatisfactory to them...
...tardiness with which the order of our semiannuals was announced this year has brought out complaints loud and long from even our habitual leaders on the rank-list. It may be a matter of small interest to our ever-respected Faculty that a general change in the order of examinations is made during the week preceding the semiannuals; that certain men are thereby invited to three or four examinations in the first few days of our festivities, and that of necessity the brevity of their preparation is likely to be rivalled only by that of the answers in their blue...
