...instructors will give to their sections the results of the examinations as soon as possible. Of course where the sections are very large it takes some time to read over the books, and men must expect some delay in getting the results. But when the sections are small there seems to be no reason for any long delay. The custom, too, of giving only approximate marks does not seem to have anything to recommend it. When the instructor has the exact marks he might just as well make them known to the section, and so save a considerable amount...
...suspension of an undergraduate for supposed violation of the rules of the college is not so rare an occurrence as to excite extended discussion beyond the sphere of the victim's intimate friends; but there may be circumstances which make such an event of more general interest. Such circumstances seem to exist in the case which has just occurred, and justice to a popular and worthy man, as well as to truth, demands that the facts should be known. Mr. Sartelle, being in my room, casually read my theme, and some time afterwards wrote his, on the same subject...

No man in college was more trusted and respected than Mr. S., and those who know him know that he would not be guilty of a dishonest act such as the faculty have practically convicted...
...been given to them must find new outlets. The winter meetings of the Athletic Association are near at hand and those who intend to enter in any of the events will now begin active practice. Though we have already spoken of some of the events, it does not seem out of place to call the attention of the college to some of the points in which it will require great energy to keep the meetings up to the standard of the last few years...
...prospects of the freshman crew seem to be excellent. Steady work and first-class material are likely to secure the crew a creditable place on the river in the spring. The example set by '83's freshman crew is one that should encourage all succeeding crews with good hopes for victory. How strong an opponent the freshmen will find in Columbia's freshman crew it is of course impossible to conjecture. The New York university will certainly make a strong effort to maintain the lead gained last year. The foot-ball record that '86 has already made should encourage...
