...races occurring in conjunction with those of the Union Boat Club; having one or more races in common, and others distinct. If, as it has been suggested, we invite the Union Boat Club to race with us, as formerly, for the cup, we shall have to make a greater effort to turn out good crews, in order to retain possession of the cup. One other item that will add to the comfort of those who row is that a passage-way is to be cut from the club-house into the University house, and thus members coming in from rowing...
...music, a nicely crashed floor, and a good supper." "The ladies threw their sweeping trains in graceful curves, conscious of an admiring eye over yonder in the corner, while the gentlemen, perfectly overcome by this generous display of gracefulness for their own special benefit, now also make a desperate effort to appear graceful, causing a smile of pity on the faces of the ladies."

...find a definite method of advancing the interests of art. It labored under many disadvantages. Its object was to increase the knowledge of undergraduates in matters of art, but there was no one competent and willing to undertake the instruction of the members of the club themselves. By the efforts of Professor Norton, to whom the club owes a large debt of gratitude, it has been put on a basis where there is a chance for it to do something. The success of their new effort rests largely with the undergraduates not members of the club. If a sufficient number...
