...stated last week in one of the New York papers that but two of last year's Yale crew would row this year. This article, describing the poor athletic outlook at Yale, was appropriately headed "Yale's Annual Tale of Woe." But just at present this tale of woe is not so grievous, since Heffelfinger has finally consented to row on the crew this year...

...through its last week at the Globe Theatre. Last night was a benefit night, and the "Rose of Auvergne" was added to the bill. Miss Marie Jansen, as usual, received a large share of the applause-her rendering of the songs, "Be Good," and "Listen to the Tale of Woe," being exceptionally fine. Miss Esther Palliser acquitted herself in a very creditable manner, giving assurance that her testimonial tomorrow, at which she will play "Marguerite," will be a great success...

...lover. This motive, always a fascinating one, is as well brought out in the hills up here in our bleak New England during the Revolution as it was in the warm sun of the Riviera. A bright poem entitled "Letters" follows this, and tells a world of woe in a very few words.

It will now assume the role once more, in these times of terror and woe which have come upon us, and seek to instill some good precepts in the minds of those not morituros, but about to try examinations. In the words of a recent ethical pamphlet, "don't" stay up all night cramming just before an examination. Go to bed earlier than usual whether you know anything or not. It is better to know less and be able to express...

...unimportant. We have here in college a praise-worthy zeal in preserving quiet and order; but we also take a curious way to apply it. For instance, all disturbances in a private room are instantly checked, the moment the sound thereof reaches the precise proctor's ear, and woe betide the man who by some ill fate occupies a room directly over the proctor. But what a contrast to this is presented where any body of the students, notably a certain sophomore society, may with impunity wake the echoes of the Yard absolutely at any hour of the night with...
