...improved very materially, the inner decorations being all new and radical changes made throughout. Elections were given out to 30 juniors from the class of '83, and it was made something of an honor to receive an election to the University Club, which now was on a par with any club-house in the city, containing a large reading-room, where all the daily papers were provided, and where now the college exchanges can be found, also a cafe. On the second floor is a reception room, well and tastefully furnished, with two small dining-rooms. On the third floor...
...very much diminished, and as it stands now it is practically unused. The question we should like to propose is, why should it not revert to its old uses as a dormitory? The upper stories could readily be fitted up again into rooms that would certainly be on a par with the rooms in Hollis and Stoughton, that are now in such active demand. A number of good cheap rooms could thus be added to the capacities of the college, to the great appreciation of large numbers of students who are now shut out of college buildings and thrown upon...

Now, unless new boats are secured this spring a race next June is not likely to occur. The boat club, we are informed, has not many thousand dollars in its treasury, in fact, is barely free from debt...
...advocate the sending of a crew to such a regatta - oh, no; but it sounds ill, you see, to speak as though Harvard desires to enter no contest where her large numbers are not sure of giving her security against defeat. If our real rowing ability is on a par with that of the other colleges, our large numbers ought to secure a correspondingly large share of the victories. Do not give the impression that Harvard asks not only for this advantage, but for a still further one in that she insists that, if she competes with the smaller colleges...
