...seems plain, then, that to insist on good reading would not be out of place on the part of the Professor; but if Mr. Child, who has probably been hardened by long tribulation, has decided to pay no attention to this point, it would still be well for those who take the elective next year to make up their minds to lighten his weight and their own, by putting a little more life into the recitations, and trying to find pleasure in what they read. It is strange that so many who think it worth while to take a course...
...would benefit no one, while it would do a great injury to the scouts now employed, who are very honest hard-working men. These scouts are in our employ, subject to our orders alone, and we, if dissatisfied, can always discharge them. Should janitors be appointed, we should still pay, but the College would employ, and in their attempts to serve two masters, one must suffer, and we should be the one; our dissatisfaction would make no difference as long as the College was suited, and we should have no power of discharging. In other words, the College dictates...
AFTER many days, the question of the Freshman race with Cornell is happily settled. The crew is now in fine condition, and since a positive decision has been reached, the subscriptions to pay their expenses have increased daily. We may therefore hope for a successful race; but whether the Freshmen win or not, they still deserve to be congratulated on the victory they have won over their own apathy.

We suggest as good trial times: mile-run, 4 min. 55 sec.; mile-walk, 7 min. 48 sec.; half-mile, 2 min. 9 sec.; quarter-mile, 55 sec.; hurdles, 19 sec.; 100-yards, 10 3/4 sec. There is no reason...
Henley Regatta. - The action of the Henley committee in compelling all American crews to enter six weeks before the regatta, and pay their entrance-fees then, is condemned on all sides. No reason can be assigned for such a step save that the English amateurs do not wish to row against oarsmen who are mechanics, and do not come under the head of "gentlemen" as they define the word. Either this or a wholesome fear of American oarsmen has influenced the regatta committee in taking this very unfair and unsportsmanlike stand...
