...publish an article to-day on the subject of the petitions which have recently been sent to the Faculty by members of the Senior Class, and which will be of interest to them. It is very unfortunate that when affairs seemed to be taking a more favorable turn, certain members of the Class should have seen fit to endeavor to defeat the arrangements. There are a large number of students who have borne a prominent part in originating and carrying on the present troubles, who take no active share in Class Day, and do not help to defray its expenses...
...most noticeable and dangerous fault at present is the universal tendency to slight the end of the stroke. Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 particularly fail to bring their hands clear in to their bodies before dropping them. No. 6 is inclined to turn his oar before it is out of the water, and Bow to do the same.

All the crews would in time row in eights; but that would be no disadvantage, as it would...
...upside down. One who will do this will do anything. What a shock it gives you, in looking along an otherwise orderly shelf, to come upon a book looking piteously at you with its title at the bottom and the publisher's name at the top. A man may turn me upside down, but not my books...
