Lastly, - placed last because we wish to dwell at length on it, - it seems to us that our College journals are to some extent to blame for the false impressions received by those who are only too anxious to enlarge upon them by a malicious push of their reportorial pens. It is very seldom, indeed, that an article appears in the Advocate or Crimson from which the public can get an erroneous impression of any phase of our college life.

One man stands in the bow, and one in the stern, and with marvelous dexterity they push their crank barks up a very rapid current, and on their return let it slowly glide down stream, avoiding the rocks. Our course now is up the stream, we on the bank, and the guides in the canoes with the baggage. At times, however, the advance along the bank is impracticable...
