...accrodance with a time honored custom the annual rush between sophomores and freshmen will be made this evening. An institution as old as "Bloody Monday Night" has certainly much to commend it, much to assure its continuation on a firm basis.

...very glad to commend the effort now making for a concert by the Varsity Glee and Banjo clubs at New London on the eve of the intercollegiate race.

We cannot commend too highly the energy of the boat club in its endeavors to further the interests of the crew, and we can only urge the college at large firmly to support these efforts. Every possible means should be put at the disposal of the crew to make their training successful...
