...Hollis, but we must remind any one who is wearied of it that it took two years of continued articles and remonstrances before walks were laid in the Yard. It is to be hoped that as fire-escapes are more important than flagstones, the Corporation will take a shorter time to procure them. During the Hollis fire an officer of the College was heard to remark: "This is quite remarkable; we thought we were safe from fire." That occasion has demonstrated that we are not more safe from it than the rest of the human race, and it is therefore...
...humbly suggest that there is one serious objection to the innovation. The present Senior Class numbers 192; deducting a dozen as an allowance for those who will pass degree-less from these halls, 180 will graduate; 180 X 3 1/2 minutes = 10 1/2 hours, which is rather a long time for men to sit listening to "parts," - and men, too, who have generally been thought to be somewhat interested in the dinner which occurs on that day. For their own interest the "tyrants and oppressors" ought to reconsider their action...

The stroke was livelier, as the pressure had been taken off the "Hydraulics." It is evident that the men must pay strict attention to the "coaching...
...work. Captain "coached." Pull five hundred and fifty strokes. Run two miles. The men go too far back in the stroke, and there is a tendency to "jerk" the last part. The arms are not shot out quickly and smoothly enough at the beginning of the recover. The time is good occasionally, but needs more careful attention on the part of the men. To-night a slight improvement in the shoulders and upper part of the body was noticed...
