...particular, the CRIMSON should give some non-financial reason for continuing its obnoxious liquor advertising. To be sure, the advertisements this year have taken a less disgusting shape than formerly; the brewers have become modest, and no longer flaunt their waers in our faces with an are of rakish conviviality; but why should the CRIMSON hesitate to do what most reputable newspapers and magazines have long since done and expel such advertising altogether?

For some reason the appearance of the regiment was unsatisfactory, so that Major-General O'Ryan ordered it to march past the reviewing stand a second time. An order of this kind is not altogether unusual, and not particularly noteworthy...
...soon as the gift was decided upon letters were written to the headmasters of the various preparatory schools in which they were asked to suggest candidates for the scholarship. The plans were made so late in the spring, however, that this was done imperfectly. Another reason for awarding the scholarship at so late a date this fall is on ac- count of the necessary delay that occured before it was passed on by the Administrative Board on Scholarships...
