...more mountains by the same name, in making unfrequented peaks more accessible, in preserving sketches and profiles of the mountains as seen from different points, in collecting maps and other data, and eventually in publishing important results which might be reached. We earnestly hope that this plan will be successful, and that our college exquisites may thereby be induced to pass their vacations in some more manly way than in dangling about the billiard-rooms and ball-rooms of summer caravansaries. It is only to be regretted that the element of actual danger will be wanting, and therewith half...

...very ready to share with the graduates, and the experience of those who have been here before us would undoubtedly be of benefit to our boating interests. The Executive Committee of the H. U. B. C. would do well to consider, with a view to its adoption here, a plan which is in operation at Columbia, by which a graduate who subscribes annually to the crew is entitled to a vote at boating meetings and to certain other privileges...
