...seemed as if order would never come out of this chaos. The only thing quite clear in all the motions and amendments was that Yale was working hard to allow men to be taken from the scientific schools alone, in addition to the academic departments, and that all the small colleges who have never rowed yet, and who will, in all likelihood, not enter a crew at Springfield this year, were voting with Yale with as much regularity as if it had been arranged beforehand. This furnishes a sequel to the nomination of officers. Harvard energetically opposed all these amendments...
...Yale has the advantage, because she can take valuable men from the Sheffield S. S. (in fact, we understand that this year three of the intended crew belong to that school), which is large, and comparatively few in it are graduates of any college; while we have only a small number in the Lawrence S.

Nor shall I forget that beggar so utterly blind that he was led from room to room by a small boy, who nevertheless managed, with wonderful quickness, to detect said boy in the act of appropriating some of the scrip. Surely, "there are none so blind as those who will not see," and this man was a deserving object of charity...
...article is in the same senseless style. The great question for us is, What will be the effect of this tremendous article? If The Student has an extended circulation in England, we tremble at the possible result; but if, as we suspect, it only harmlessly circulates in a small part of Illinois, the article may not decrease the sale of Dickens's works in this country even...
