...requires a considerable degree of financial experience. It has been the custom from time immemorial to appoint to the office of treasurer some student whose life has, until that moment, been divided between study and play, and whose time is generally pretty thoroughly occupied without his financial duties. The result of this arrangement is that, although no instance of dishonesty has ever come to our knowledge, the financial management of almost every society is constantly changing hands, is constantly confided to the care of inexperienced young men, and is very frequently found to be clumsy and unsatisfactory...
...hypocrisy has been discovered. As the students are hypocrites in their relations to the Faculty, so are the members of that august body hypocrites in their relations to the overseers and examiners. To such a painful conclusion does the discovery of the Lampoon lead us. To disprove this final result of the charge would require knowledge of proceedings to which ordinary mortals are not admitted.

...habit of making themselves somewhat free in the rooms which have been loaned to graduates on Commencement Day, and have also felt it incumbent on themselves to fill quite a number of seats at the Alumni dinner. This conduct, though in the first instance it may be the result of thoughtlessness on their part, still is unpardonable, and it would be well in future for students who contemplate indulging in this kind of pastime, to pay a little regard to the feelings of the graduates. For they must know that graduates feel that they have a peculiar right to come...
...safety of a "turning race." This mode of racing is inconsistent with the rest of the idea. On the same ground that the race should not be a show, but an honorable struggle for victory, the interest, being undisturbed by "side-shows," should also be concentrated on the final result. And, too, the steady, straightaway pull of four miles is a race in which chance is far less likely to enter than in a race where a stake-boat must be turned. In such a race, although the separate stakes and the buoying remove the possibility of two crews fouling...
