FROM Mr. Blakie's own lips, we learn that he has no intention of foreclosing his mortgage on the boats and oars belonging to the four clubs, either this spring or next autumn. It would be very poor policy, besides, if he should foreclose, for he could not get enough money from the boats to cover his loss. Another interesting fact which the Advocate seems to have overlooked is, that Mr. Blakie has a lease of the club boat-house of the Corporation, and that this lease will not expire until a year from next October. If he should sell...
MANY complaints are heard, at this season, of the hour of dining at Memorial Hall, and it has been suggested that it should be postponed, in the spring and summer at least, till six o'clock, - a suggestion which is worth the attention of the directors. Many boarders are detained by baseball matches or rowing till after the hour, and to such the proposed change would be of great advantage, while apparently it would inconvenience none.

...half-years equalled twenty-four hours; a privilege which was very valuable to many faithful students. To applicants for honors, particularly, the liberty to take the larger amount of work during the first half-year was very important, as it gave them more time in the spring for the special work which is required for examinations for honors. Again, it greatly lightens the labors of our hard-worked Crew and Nine to be able to assign a large proportion of their work to the first half-year, as a good part of their time is spent during the spring...
