...Library, speaks of the alterations in the reading-room, and recommends that some arrangement be made for the use of this room in the evening. Such a privilege is much desired by a large number of students.

...that the Advocate urges upon the present Freshman class are wise and practical. It is useless to undertake to row a race when the amount of money that can be raised to support the crew is still a vague uncertainty: it is also well, before sending a challenge, to consult those who have had somewhat more than a few months' experience in rowing. But these are not the only morals to be drawn. One of the causes of '81's ill success this year was the laxity of discipline of the man who held the most responsible position...
