They retired, and soon returned with their nominations, only one for each office. The gentlemen nominated were immediately elected, and were, R. J. Cook, President; F. C. Eldred, Vice President; A. J. Boardman, Secretary; E. M. Hartwell, Treasurer. The question as to the day of the regatta then came up. Mr. Sanger's motion that the day be July 14 was objected to by Amherst, as it gave them only four days between the close of their academic year and the regatta, while the term for the "Aggies" does not close until July 17.

In short, the singing in the Yard must stop, unless the window-critics can refrain from their customary vociferous applause. The habit is boyish enough, at best, and can be relinquished without much...
...that account, very attractive; but the "comic force" seems, to us at least, to lose its intensity and to flag in interest in some places. That a young wife, crossing the ocean alone, may make time pass pleasantly by flirting with one or two elderly gentlemen, or that some one gentleman may be tired of his wife, is not unlikely; but when all the passengers seem to have a touch of some kind of matrimonial infelicity or another, the play certainly borders upon the unreal.
