...last item credited as net debt is provided for by unpaid subscriptions to the amount of $1,347.50, as shown by the Treasurer's list; thus showing a balance of assets over all present liabilities of $963.05, which amount properly should stand to-day as cash in the Treasurer's hands. The probable expense for the coming race with Yale may be put down as $1,500, which should cover all the cost of boats, training, &c., for the crew themselves show a determination to the strictest economy. To meet this outlay of some $600 we have the promise...
...will be remembered that it was only after some hesitation that the Faculty decided to give voluntary attendance upon recitations another year's trial with the present Senior class. It was hoped that the class would appreciate the fact that the system is as yet an experiment, and would do nothing to embarrass its final adoption. These anticipations, we are informed by the Dean, have not been realized.

If there are none but clergymen present, conversation will turn on theology; if lawyers make up the party, their chat will be of a professional character; and if the dry-goods business is the only one represented, it is safe to say the guests will talk "shop...
...enormous size: this is entirely a mistake. Out of last year's Freshman class over one hundred and fifty joined the association, and the money got by their initiation fees was sufficient to pay all debts, and leave a surplus of about $17 in the treasury. Surely the present Freshman class, which is nearly as large as '79, when it entered, ought to furnish members enough to keep up the association. There is nothing of the kind in College from which so much pleasure can be derived for so small a sum ($2.25, including shingle), and if each class does...
