...deprived of their suffrage. And there is no need of this, for votes could be received by proxy, and thus all who cared to have a voice in the management of the College could do so. Usually there is very little rivalry for the office of Overseers, and the result of the election is satisfactory to everybody. Still there may come a time when at some election every graduate will desire to cast his vote. Suppose, for example, that James Freeman Clarke and Colonel Higginson, who are so anxious to introduce co-education into the College, should make this question...
...Semiannuals are drawing to a close, we hear the hope expressed on every side that the results of the examinations may be made known as early as possible. Seniors are particularly anxious to learn just exactly where they stand, so that they can make their calculations for the work of the rest of the year accordingly. We join in this cry, and respectfully urge upon our instructors the propriety of looking over the books, and announcing the marks as soon as convenient.

A man always prizes that the most for which he has worked the hardest. The indifference of the crews in last year's races is not therefore to be wondered at, and it is the experience of past years that hard work on the part of the crews...
...suggested in almost all the departments. In the department of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy, although "the young men are stimulated to think for themselves upon controverted points, and care is taken to acquaint them with the objections which must be met before satisfactory conclusions can be reached," the result often unsettles conviction and produces "a sceptical turn of mind which is the more hopeless because it thinks itself rational and scientific." In Philosophy 3, the Critique of Judgment is recommended in place of Shopenhauer and Hartmann. The Committee think that Junior Logic might be removed to the Freshman year...
