...some complaint about college - it is true the complaining has not been very extensive - that the practice of placing the numbers over the pulpit in chapel, to indicate the psalms and hymns, has been given up, or at least very much neglected. We grant that the matter is of slight importance, but still we think the custom a sufficiently valuable one to be continued, and certainly we can see no good reason for its discontinuance. To those, who take part in the services, the numbers are often useful...
...great event of the afternoon was the middle-weight sparring between G. R. Ashe, '87, and I. R. Thomas, '88. Thomas is twenty pounds heavier and a little shorter than Ashe, who is of very slight build. The first round was opened by Ashe with a smart blow on Thomas' face; in return getting a couple of body blows. Both men were evidently saving themselves for the last two rounds.

We hope that every one of the recent examinations will be represented on the library shelves...
...attempt a slight analysis of our poets and their work. First in favor is the amorous versifier. He sings in the abstract and therefore for all. His "Genevieve" is our "Genevieve;" in the beauty and grace of his love we see the ten-fold greater beauty and grace of our love. And so we applaud him to the echo and he walks before us with an added sense of his power and genius. And we steal his lines and post them as an offering to our love, no longer his. With pedantic pen and labored toil B. sings...
