...particular seemed to fit the universal foot, - "foot" in general, and not any particular foot, - for it arrested equally quickly the orangeman and the Sophomore who wears ladies' size. The poor mat has been cursed every hour of the day and night, and now, at last, seeing that it still remained unannihilated, some one has employed violence and has doubtless returned it to its native dust-heap; or, better still, some match-boy, in sympathy with its kindred rags, has put the mat to a similar use with the old sheep-skin which Bryan O'Lynn appropriated, when...
SOMETHING has been written, and more has been said and thought, on the subject of proper fire-escapes for the various buildings in the Yard, but still the Corporation have taken no action in the matter, - at least to all outward seeming. It is incredible that those in office should be so careless of the safety of those under their charge, and so entirely regardless of their feelings and wishes in a matter of such vital importance.

...regret to hear that Harvard has been beaten by Yale in the late foot-ball match. The score shows that Harvard had really the best of the match, as she obtained three touch-downs, while Yale secured one goal; but, whatever the match shows, still it is nominally a defeat for Harvard. It is said that Seamans missed a place-kick for the first time during a match. We hope that Harvard will soon regain her laurels; indeed, we are magnanimous enough to wish that no club may ever beat her, except our own, or some other Canadian team...
