EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON :- There is a chance for one more club at Harvard, which will not tread upon the toes of any existing organization, nor intefere with the privileges of anyone, but which may be of advantage to many. I do not refer to a "Studying Club," that we can probably get along without, but to a club devoted to one of the pleasantest and most beneficial of sports- canxing. We have now a number of active canxists in college, and others would doubtless engage in the sport if a canx club should be formed...

All in all, the journal is a credit to its editors, and does much to establish our belief...
...event of such a case then, arrived at the fire, the fore girl will shout, as loudly as is consistent with propriety, through her speaking trumpet, and the firegirls, after putting on their rubbers and waterproofs, will connect the water pipe-for it would be hardly delicate to refer to it in public as "hose"-and turn on the water. Armed with large tack hammers, the firegirls will break open doors and windows and place step ladders against the wall of the burning building to assist the inmates to escape. That the firegirls should actually ascend the step ladders...
