...number of men seem to find a good deal of interest and amusement in witnessing the wrestling at the gymnasium every afternoon. Mr. Lathrop gives instructions in wrestling every afternoon at 3 o'clock. Dividing the men into pairs he instructs each pair in catches, falls and positions, illustrating the meaning by object lessons and making the men apply his teaching. While Mr. Lathrop is instructing one pair, the others practise what they have previously been told. The part of the hour thus spent in instruction is rather tame, but the last half is spent in regular bouts, and proves...
...their hands, but in those of the overseers. Our correspondent has done well in agitating the matter thus early; for there will be plenty of time for the faculty to bring the question before the Board of Over seers if it meets with their approval. It would seem to be a very simple thing to begin the vacation on the Saturday before Easter and have college reopen on the following Monday week-thus having the double advantage of giving us Easter at home and of starting in again at the beginning of a week, instead of in the middle...

If a student can buy provisions for twenty-five men at a better price than the steward does for over seven hundred, and give better satisfaction over it withal, it shows that there is something vitally wrong at Memorial which should be overhauled at once...
...furnished us with plank walks, a time worn subject for articles of all kinds has been removed. The authorities have used praiseworthy care in keeping the walks in the yard free from snow this winter. There are, however, a few places where especial care should be taken, and which seem to have been neglected. These are the steps of the various dormitories, and more especially Weld and Thayer. Covered with ice as they are at present, with but a slight covering of ashes, which tend merely to conceal the slippery surface beneath, they endanger the limbs of every...
