COMPLAINTS have come to us concerning the action of the Bursar in regard to the transfer of rooms. The old transfer is a thing of the past, and it has been said that if one man wants to give up a room which another is anxious to get, it is impossible for the thing to be done. He who first drew the room, it is said, must hold it, no matter how many homeless wretches may long to rest their limbs within. We have examined the matter and find that the case is not quite as bad as this...
...recent award of the Bowdoin prizes for dissertations of excellence reminds us that the incentives to exertion in the fields of literature are confined, with us, entirely to prose. We have had here, in the past ten years, many men who have given evidence of ability to write very good poetry, but we have not yet found one who possessed both the means and the disposing frame of mind to encourage the rising lights in the poetic firmament. At Oxford the prize poem is something which is struggled for, and the successful man is justly admired. That such a prize...
...reputation of our foot-ball eleven has grown to such an extent in the past two years that on Monday they will be called upon to face adversaries whose very coming is an honor to us. The Canadian "team" will be much stronger than the one we were fortunate enough to defeat last fall, and we cannot but look upon our chance for victory now as extremely doubtful. Whatever may be the result of the game, we have an opportunity of repaying, to some extent, the hospitality we have received in our visits to Montreal, and which has often been...
...study of Political Economy in the Sophomore year, announced in the last number of the Crimson. Our contributor argues soundly that nothing is of more importance for a man in this country than an elementary knowledge of economic science. The study of the prescribed course for the past few years has been little more than a hasty grind for an examination, and we suppose that to be the reason which has induced the Faculty to discontinue the study. But, however hasty the reading of the text-books has been, certain fundamental truths have dawned upon minds which otherwise would have...
...boat and pull the old three-mile race without a coxswain. If they had to do the first alone, it would be something beyond what was usual with our crews, but we are so situated this year that, having rowed a longer and harder race than any crew of past years, they will have to do the regular work of former crews, and this at a disadvantage. It is more than any one can expect that they will be successful in both races. Which of the two then is more important? This question has been answered, and most of their...
