...total fall sales of the Co-operative Society up to December 28 amount to $136,979.33, an increase of $1,371.15 over the total sales for the corresponding period last year. The sales of the Cambridge department amount to $115,852.85, an increase of $5,052.43 over the same period last year, and the sales of the Medical department amount to $21,126.48, a decrease of $3,681.28 in comparison with last year's sales.

The Senior trial will be held in Sever 11 on Tuesday, January 7, at 7 o'clock. The members of the Senior team, if victorious, will be given Surbridge debating cups...
...adopted by Harvard and Yale principally because that was the distance rowed by Oxford and Cambridge; but I wish to point out that the Oxford-Cambridge race is rowed in March in cold weather, while our race comes at end of June, so that the contest and the final period of preparation come in hot weather, and while the men are having their final examinations, which makes the strain much more severe...
