...young man may exercise his muscle with the oars, yet the river is not so bad after all, and surely there ought to be awakened among our undergraduates a greater desire for universal excellence in boating. There are a few private shells at the boathouse which their owners use semi occasionally, but as for other students they are but very rarely seen on the river.

What the Conference Committee has done is this. Its members have recommended that the regulation regarding cribbing in the published rules, which prescribes suspension or other penalty judged proper...
...students of the College of Physicians and Surgeons are fond of getting the end seats in the lecture-room on the top floor of the building. Each of the semi-circular benches is covered with two long crimson cushions, and the practice is to pull one of the cushions toward an end seat, and turn a part of it under so as to make a pillow for the weary medical head...
