...Goodwin also said that the proposition to put the boat-house into the hands of the college authorities, after a full discussion, had been deemed inadvisable. He suggested that, in view of the excellent financial condition of the club, the following measures be taken by the new Executive Committee: First, that a man be employed to be constantly at the boat-house, whose duty it shall be to help members with their boats, to take proper care of boats after use, and to prevent all trespasses on the club premises; second, that the house receive a coat of English paint...
...hazing, though it may be but 2 comatose state into which "that good old custom" has fallen. Of late years hazing has been gradually softening down into a system of roughing - varied by an occasional barbarity - severe enough to injure only that stock of self-conceit which is said to belong to every young man of seventeen or thereabout. But this year we have had not even a "Bloody Monday," nor are we likely to witness any of the consequences which have usually followed the "rushes" and single encounters of that dread night.

In the course of his remarks last week to those who had elected studies at the Museum, Professor Agassiz said that twenty-six years ago there was not a single specimen, with which to illustrate a lecture, possessed by the Institution, which now offers better advantages to students, both in instruction and in specimens, than any Museum in Europe, and that it afforded him great pleasure to announce this fact...
...innocent enough to believe this; can the Owl instruct our innocence? Some one else declares that "the exercise of common-sense but for a minute" reduces the difference between Romanists and Protestants to a mere doubt respecting the profitableness of invoking the Virgin. The writer would surely have said otherwise had he exercised his own common-sense a minute longer. If not, his instructors could have corrected him. These expressions, in a magazine containing much commendable matter, are all that challenge our critical attention. May the Owl accept it kindly...
