It must be remembered that the proposed Commons is to be in a room much more elegant than any in which students now take their meals, and where, by proper management, all, without being crowded, could obtain good board at a reasonable price; for, strange as it may seem, there are some every year who wish to be admitted to our present Commons, and are kept out for want of room...
...these sort of considerations are not apt to be uppermost in the thoughts of the student while spending, his vacation amid the gayeties of city life. In fact, if we may take Harvard men in New York as an example, their thoughts seem quite as much taken up with the alluring frivolities of the metropolis as with moralizing on the sterner problems of life which underlie them.

Yet perhaps I am wrong...
...have watched their crew, it is quite evident that there is no one among them fitted by knowledge and experience to train a crew during the winter and coach them in the Gymnasium; and I think I may venture to say that to most of those men the following seems the best plan that can be followed: There are several fellows, who have been here a year or more and who have pulled during that time, who it is thought would be willing, if asked by the class, to choose a number of men, train them during the winter...
