...subjects for the Second Junior Themes, Division A, are: "Mr. Thackeray gravely compromised his character, when he invited the people of the United States to laugh at his caricatures of the Hanoverian Kings of England"; and "Professor Hughes, it is said, does not intend to secure patent rights on the microphone, as he regards his researches and their results as belonging to the domain of discovery rather than invention...
...room as it does on their excellence in their mental and physical capacities. Laying aside the respect due to their instructors, which is apparently of trifling importance to some, the annoyance it gives to those members of the class who wish to get some benefit out of what is said, ought to deserve some consideration.

...article on eight-oared shell rowing in our last issue was misinterpreted by a writer in the last Advocate. He ridicules the idea of shells turning in a scratch race; and no one can ridicule the idea more than we do, as we expressly said that the races should be straightaway. Our reference was particularly to the club races, and, as will be seen by this week's paper, these races are neither an impossible nor an improbable thing. There is no reason why eight-oared shells should not be used, if the men are willing to train. They...
