...college who desire a sport for amusement, as well as for the display of athletic prowess, the advantages of canoeing. There are few more exciting amusements than sailing a canoe. nor are there many which demand more skill, The skill displayed by the more experienced canoe sailors is, to say the least, remarkable, and the feats that can be performed in a canoe are such as are not dreamed of by the beginner. Paddling a canoe is one of the best general exercises, and there is no pleasanter way of spending a few weeks in the open air than...
...communication in regard to the theft of the Christian Brethren shingle. We were obliged to notice an offence of the same nature last year, when the shingle of the St. Paul's society was stolen. But few words need be said on the subject now. We would merely say to the freshmen, for no upper classman would have played such a contemptible trick, that one's reputation for "nerve" is not to be increased by such means, and that if the perpetrator of this outrage becomes known, his college career will not be materially aided...

...writer of the other letter declares the invitation to be 'remarkable,' "most preposterous," an "utter absurdity," "unreasonable."

A class, he says, is a unit; it is impossible that there are not many who are in favor of Blaine; consequently it is impossible for the class to march in the Independent parade as a class; consequently the invitation is absurd, etc. He kindly states that he has "no objection to seeing as many juniors as seem so inclined joining in the proposed procession," for which...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:-It is a mistake to say that if the college marches in the Republican procession it will be an act of no political significance. The managers of the Independent movement have laid great stress on the fact that the young men of the country, being more free from party habits and party bias, can see Blaine's record in its true light, and are refusing to vote for him. If we march with the Republicans, then, this statement is disproved ; if we march with the Independents and Democrats, this statement is proven true. Moreover, as shown...
