...members of the board of overseers in favor of compulsory prayers, it will take some years, at least, to change the complexion of that body, even if all the new men each year should be advocates of "voluntary prayers." Every effort should be made to get the right men nominated, and then the nominees should be supported at the polls on Commencement Day. The younger graduates should wake up to the issue and remember the undergraduates who remain behind them attending prayers against their wills. It is the younger men on whom we must rest our hopes, for the older...
...many complaints have been made of umbrellas lost at Memorial Hall, that we are glad to see the board of directors have taken the right steps to prevent any recurrence of this difficulty. The check system, which was put in operation for the first time Tuesday evening, was found to be an entire success.

As there are several promising men in '87 who have had sufficient experience to form a nucleus for a team, the material for a good twelve ought to be forthcoming. If games can be arranged with Andover and other of the preparatory schools, an impetus will be the preparatory schools...
...crews. What is now a pleasure and a means of recreation will become a business so irksome that many who now enjoy their daily row on the river will only go to the river from a sense of duty, and a false one at that. It is not right that preparation for the class races should prevent a man from bestowing even a fair amount of work on his college duties. They are unmistakeably first in importtance, and should not be neglected to the extent which "R" claims they will be if '84's example is followed and allowed...
