...evident, from an inspection of the list of rooms recently issued from the Bursar's office, that a large number of the best rooms have been reserved for those who enter next year. Now, we have no wish to compel Freshmen to room outside the College Yard, but we do claim that every undergraduate should have a chance to apply for every room not re-engaged. If, after their wants are satisfied, any rooms remain that are not disposed of, the sub-Freshmen should be allowed to draw for them; they should not be allowed to draw for rooms which...
...take pleasure in reprinting, by request, the list of events for the Athletic meeting, and we again call the attention of all those who think of entering to the peculiar advantages offered this year. We see no reason why the entries should not be many, and the records better than ever before, as the date of the meeting has been postponed till after the Class Races, so that several who take part in them will be able to compete.

...Gosling's private opinion that he ought not to drink, and also that he does not like the taste of liquor; but if he hears that Swellington has been "jolly drunk," he will straightway get miserably drunk and will brag about it for the rest of the year. Perhaps we can pity Swellington if he is fond of liquor; but we have only contempt for Gosling. If all our popular men would realize as fully as many of them do, the trust which their popularity confers upon them, there would be no college reform which they might not accomplish...
