...first place, great care should be taken not to make the course a "soft snap." It would have to be managed very shrewdly, so that there would be plenty of work somewhere, even if Russia took it into her head not to advance further into central Asia, if Germany suddenly decided not to extend her colonies, and if the whole Irish question suddenly ceased by Gladstone's yielding what is demanded of him. History pauses sometimes...
...another column will be found a most amusing collection of conjectures. One pauses, even in the midst of his laughter, to wonder how sub-freshmen could have acquired so happy a faculty of snap-shot answering before going through the collegiate apprenticeship which most of us have served. But practice makes perfect, and the time may come when these same men will be able to enter a course at the mid-years, and, without purchasing a book, read the section by pure force of faultless sight translation and blindly audacious guessing, as was actually done in a classical course...
...average, but was no more than the merits of the concert demanded. The singing of the Glee Club was the best which has been heard for several years. Naturally the greatest success was scored in the college songs, which were sung with a good degree of vigor and "snap." "Piper Heidsieck" and the concluding "Medley" were particularly acceptable for their novelty.

Mr. Carey's whistling was as good as ever, while the audience...
...slow in their movements, though Trafford is playing well and bids fair to make a really good rusher. Woodbury, the captain, is playing end rush at present. He blocks hard and tackles fairly well. Morgan, on the other end, plays a sharp, quick game with a good deal of snap. He is weak in blocking, and labors besides under the disadvantage of being very light. The other two rushers at Southboro were McKean and Newell, though since then McKean has been playing full back. Newell has a bad trick of bunting the man with the ball instead of tackling...
...been begun sooner. At the close of the second half the score stood 12 to 9 against '89. Goodhue, of St. Marks, played almost the whole game for them, distinguishing himself by some phenomenal plays; but the whole Southboro eleven, though light, played with a great deal of snap and pluck. For Harvard, Trafford, Noble and Scott bore off the honors. It was evident from '89's playing that a lack of incentive is felt in not having the Yale game to look forward to. If we are to beat Yale next year, however, we must look...
