...Parker's, interviewed Warmsoup, the janitor at large, who said he had seen it stated in the Tin Pop Gun that Boylston was to be removed to St. Petersburg, and to be fitted up and used as the Czar's palace, as it was considered the only bomb-proof building in the world...
...fully agree with the opinion expressed by the Echo in reference to the need of an elementary course in Anatomy and Physiology. The popularity of the course formerly conducted by Professor James would prove this, if proof were needed; but, when we consider the number of students whose special pursuits are connected with this study, and the still larger number who have a general interest in the subject, we need not search further for evidence that the course is desirable. As an aid to the intelligent appreciation of art and the more thorough knowledge of athletic development, the study...
...privilege is proved by the large proportion of "honor men" who take advantage of this permission and write one or two Theses in place of the four required Forensics. Now the avowed object of Forensic writing is to give facility and force in the arrangement of an argument or proof.

Why should not all men who are interested in some special study be allowed...
THAT all the four Class Crews begin their work in the Gymnasium so early in the year, is another proof - if proof were necessary - of the hold which the Class Races have taken on the College.

...Maude is a student of philosophy, and, with a truly Spencerean somersault of logic, he reduces me ad absurdum. The burden of his proof is that "J. N. M." contradicts himself. Think of this! I charge the Brethren with halfness, with not having bravery enough to take a decided stand, either Orthodox or Liberal; with leaving its constitution in such a way that no Unitarian or Universalist can, with self respect, join the society - for such could be members not by virtue of a clean-cut statement of the constitution, but by its "fair" interpretation, which means by twisting...
