Every one knows what an impetus table championship gives to the formation of friendships, carrying with its a spirit of cheerfulness and joviality. Many men, who are at times a little scrupulous about partaking of spermaceti soup, baked Indian, and corn starch, do away with these scruples for the sake of the companionship, recognizing, perhaps the importance of having good, cheerful company at table in order to get the most good from what he is eating there. Students, especially those who eat at club tables will enjoy looking back to their days of boarding at Memorial, and in days...
...superior advantages for education, in her library, laboratories and corps of instruction. Whether these advantages are properly appreciated or not must be proved by the number of highly educated, able, talented men that graduate at Cambridge. College men are of two classes, those who come to college for the sake of the college life, and those who come for the sake of the college education.

That there are in reality plenty of such men is well proved by the number present at the meeting. That the club as newly constituted will be a success, the enthusiasm shown by its members is a guarantee, Only let these members steer clear in future of Harvard indifference and we shall all hope...
...rate at which the body has been swinging back; but, as soon as they touch the chest, they are shot out forward and are again held perfectly straight. This arm movement is called the "shoot" because it is rapidly executed. A quick shoot is necessary; first, for the sake of uniformity: second, to avoid splashing when rowing on the water. The shoot, however, must be executed gently, for any violent motion jars a shell, and thereby greatly impedes its speed. After the shoot, the body is again swung forward, continuing, as it were, the movement of the arms. In fact...
