...happens to mar or favor the plans of the undergraduate. Last year the order of the June examinations was not made public until the 18th of May, and constant complaints, the natural outgrowth of this delay, appeared in the College papers.

The generous regard for our comfort and convenience, which has thus been shown by the members of the Faculty in giving us early notice of these crucial tests, deserves our hearty thanks. Whether a man is a hard...

An analysis of the portions omitted and comments on the portions read will secure a thorough understanding and enjoyment of the poem; and the readings will...
...vote had been passed in a class-meeting to support their captain and their crew, seemed to make no impression on their minds. They spared themselves, it is true, the disgrace of withdrawing from a regatta after their challenge had been accepted; but they exposed themselves to a similar disgrace by not making any preparations. We are happy to state that a decided change has taken place within the last few days, and that the Freshmen have begun to realize their responsibilities. We believe they are capable of sending a crew that can beat Cornell, but they must not expect...
