Those croakers who declared that Class Day produced more discord than pleasure, and advocated its abolition, are completely silenced; and all friends of that time-honored institution can quietly rejoice. Especially should the under classes feel glad that they have such a precedent to follow, and that, instead of the usual troubled season of caucuses and partisan tickets, they can hope for a calm selection of fitting men for the various offices.

...should in no way encourage their voluntary efforts. The sum, it is true, is not large, but it is not easy to raise among students who find so many subscription-papers awaiting them; and were it not for the energetic efforts of a few men who generously spend much time and labor in the cause, the college would be without a reading-room. With but few changes, and only slight additional expense, the Library could take this burden upon itself.

These offers to remain open until the end of next June. Any man intending to make one of these trials to give ten days' notice to the Vice-President of the H. A. A. These offers are made solely...

The "Town and Gown" row is a thing of the past, so is that unappeasable thirst for beer by which the youth of that time seemed to have been impelled. The writer states that a student who should anywhere be seen tipsy would lose caste entirely among his fellows; but this is a very hard statement to swallow. If true, things have vastly improved in England over what they used...
