...report of the Dean of the college is given a statement of the studies which are elected by the freshmen. Instead of dropping the dead languages and mathematics, as many thought would be the case, when elective was substituted for prescribed work in the first year, it is a significant fact that these studies are by far the most popular. Latin stands at the head of the list, with 196 students; then comes Greek with 163, and Mathematics with 141; and the number of freshmen whose choice includes all these studies is 83. The Dean, in commenting on this says...

...members of the Sophomore class, stating that the class crew is heavily in debt, and asking for immediate aid. According to the circular the amount owed is about $1200, and unless $200 is subscribed before the 1st of March, the crew will be obliged to disband. This statement has occasioned much surprise among most of the members of the class, and has called forth some rather unfavorable opinions on the management of the crew. Few men realize how expensive a crew is; especially a freshman crew for whom a barge and a shell must be bought, and their expenses...
