...Senior Class elections on Monday night were extremely well managed, and the Committee are to be congratulated on the success of their arrangements; for there was no hitch in the proceedings, and the meeting ended several hours earlier than any previous one. It is to be regretted that one section of the class did not sustain the Committee in their efforts to have no society candidates. It was perfectly evident that one society voted as an organized body for single candidates nominated as the candidates of that society.

...account of the Athletic Meeting last Saturday will be found on another page, and it will be seen that in two events our best previous records were surpassed.

As St. Mark's was ahead at this point, the Freshmen were naturally dissatisfied. St. Mark's courteously consented to go on with the game, but decided among themselves to stop at the end of the next half, whatever the result, being determined to cling to the original...
When a person employs any one, he is apt to look into his previous record; the Bursar evidently considers this an entirely superfluous process, in employing a man who is to have a good deal of power over a large building full of students...
