...meeting room in the gymnasium is an institution which should not be allowed to lose any portion of its interest by becoming a memorial simply of the remote past. Such at present seems to be the danger, for no new pictures and trophies to speak of have been put in since the room was first fitted up.

If our real rowing ability is on a par with that of the other colleges, our large numbers ought to secure a correspondingly large share of the victories...

The choir of Appleton Chapel will perform the choral part of the service. All persons who are interested are cordially invited to be present at the service which will begin at 10.30 o'clock...
