...club boats will be ready for use next Monday, Oct. 28. Tickets, $3.00 apiece, entitling the holder to the use of the boats this autumn, can be obtained from any member of the Executive Committee of the H. U. B. C. No one will be allowed to row in the scratch races who has not a ticket. In order to put a stop to the carelessness with which boats are handled, it is found necessary to make a rule that every man who injures boats or oars shall be held responsible for the amount of repairs...
...plucky and determined race, and showed themselves a more manly set of men than the unfavorable criticism of the college was, at one time, inclined to admit. The warnings that the Advocate urges upon the present Freshman class are wise and practical.

...Brown. Many aspirants to that title have arisen, but none of them has the popular verdict recognized. Mr. Severance has struggled hard to gain it, and we must do him the justice to say that he has followed his model with the most conscientious exactness. Both the heroes row in exciting races; each of them has two loves, one in high and one in low life; both the heroines sprain their ankles and have to be carried home, and so on through the books. Both the authors are excellent when they describe college scenes, both fail when they introduce...
