...another, and they will not all have the same weight in the examinations. Greek, Latin and Mathematics will continue to have, as they now have, much greater weight than any of the rest. The examinations will be marked according to the new college standard of marks. Another new thing is the provision that allows a student to take his preliminaries and final during the same year. Although this new system of entrance examinations goes into force this year, any one desiring to enter on the old conditions (from having taken already the preliminaries or from some such reason...
...less abstruse subject, will have more readers, though perhaps less appreciative ones. Mr. Bruce strikes a new note and gives us a study of low life, which is not very satisfactory. It lacks smoothness and force, and is a trifle coarse. The story, as told, is not a thing complete in it self; it is rather a glimpse of what goes on around us, as if the clouds had parted for an instant, and shown us some of the painful, realities of life.

The custom of having the captain of another eleven is an excellent idea. The selection of referees might be made with propriety at the annual meeting, and should be made obligatory...
...upon more advanced students of "the art of dramatic expression." One interested speaks of the opportunity, and a voice from the darkness replies to him with biting scorn. How does the matter now stand? No one knows, nor is it the evident desire of any one to know. One thing however is certain. If the ill-fated club is to be recalled to life it must be upon an essentially new basis. But will such a society bear such a new construction? We question it. Its former ideal was too realistic, too highly seasoned for other than a short...
