...that the crew dinner should prove a fiasco, especially after their hard-won race last June. If it were ever becoming to banquet a crew, it would certainly be this one, who labored perseveringly in the face of defeat prophesied on all hands and were finally victorious over rivals whose method was considered easy victory or ruination, and which proved neither one nor the other. The subscribers for the dinner have come forward in ridiculously small numbers, either through forgetfulness of the near approach of the date assigned or for some less charitable reason. Let us hope...
...Massachusetts, 27 from New York, the rest scattering. James Walker at this time was president of the university, and among the overseers appear the names of Samuel Hoar and Emory Washburn. Professors Parsons and Washburn then had charge of the Law School. Among the professors of the present day whose names appear in this catalogue are O. W. Holmes, Asa Gray, J. R.

By these we think an inter-collegiate monthly would be welcomed as much as by the large majority of students. The college journalism is not enjoyed by the mass of the students. Would not an intercollegiate publication do much...
...reading room are an improvement on its previous ones. They are lighter and airier and much more commodious; but whether the corporation will go to the extent of heating the whole of lower Massachusetts for the use of the reading room during the winter season is a momentous question, whose answer is very doubtful. Another and more serious objection to Massachusetts as the permanent quarters of the reading room is that readers are continually disturbed and inconvenienced by the ever-recurring examinations which are held there. This objection might be considerably obviated if the authorities would be so considerate...
