With regard to the changes consequent upon the recent action of the Corporation, a few words might be said. It is well known that the expenses of the Nine are mostly met by gate receipts; but as no more admission money can be taken on Jarvis, a large part of the Nine's support is taken away, and consequently larger subscriptions must be raised. Thus the Nine, which was before almost self-supporting, becomes largely dependent on the students for support. No games can be played on Jarvis with non-college clubs, and of course college games will...
...proposition to change the dinner-hour to the latter part of the day will soon be brought before the College for censure or approval; the changes which this plan involves are of great importance, and careful consideration must be given to the subject, that we may not thoughtlessly make a decision that will afterwards be regretted.

Along the fields to the woods they move, and soon emerge on the other side just in sight. Here the trail seemed for a moment lost, but was found stretching back...
...offered them to obtain instruction in elocution is worthy of notice, as it is a very good indication of the opinion of the student mind of the value of such instruction. The importance of elocution is gravely questioned by some educators, who claim - and reasonably so for the most part, it seems to us - that when one has anything to say, he will be able to say it, and most forcibly, in his own natural manner, and that therefore all artificial helps are useless...
