...hope, Messrs. Editors, that you will not decline to let one more growl about the same old subject, GAS IN THE ENTRIES, appear in your columns. I think I can recall some complaints on this head in last year's papers, but my staircase is as dark and gloomy as ever, after 6 P. M., and I continue to nurse the same number per week of broken bones and bruised joints. I pay $300 for the use of a small room for 38 weeks, nearly $8 per week, - a very steep rent, considering the building never cost the College...
...meeting of the Society, held at their rooms last Tuesday night, it was determined to request scientific communications from the Professors of the University, and that, furthermore, notice should be placed upon the college buildings, in advance, of those who would speak at each meeting, with, if possible, the subject of each lecture.

Last year, by a skilful opposing of one college tradition to another on the part of the Faculty, the classes of '75 and '76 were led to promise entire abstinence from hazing...
...sharply drawn, now quite obliterated. Very likely a few failures to attain the rank as a scholar, which all who knew you had predicted, bring discouragement, a belief in the unfairness of a marking system as an indication of profit derived, and a fondness for general reading upon a subject instead of constant adherence to the textbook. This is a wise view, taken by itself, but perhaps dangerous to you, Sir Galahad. You have placed the mark too high, and, in receding to your proper place, will be very likely to slip by it. Then we all know that climbing...
