PETITIONS granted this week: 32 Seniors, 49 Juniors, 69 Sophomores, and 61 Freshmen. '81 is still ahead, but '82 is proving a formidable rival...
...with the champion college crew, and, in case we are successful, with other colleges that are willing to race in eights. On the other hand, it is neither fair nor reasonable that we should travel all over the Western and Middle States for the sake of meeting a rival. New London is the place for these races, not Owasco Lake nor Harlem River.

Don't be at all bashful about proclaiming this fact, for you will gain some reputation in an easy way, and you may, perhaps, scare away a rival or two.

The Vindex would do better if it confined itself to matters of interest to the school, instead of discussing the "Mode of Electing a Pope" and kindred subjects; and if it did not try to be very funny. As a rival of the Burlington Hawkeye, the Vindex is not a success; as a school paper, it is - not a failure. The Critic is more ambitious than the first two papers; it includes Harper's Monthly among its exchanges, and is not afraid to give its opinion of college contemporaries. Here...
