...University eight appeared on the river last Monday for the first time after their housing during the winter months, - a day earlier than they did last year. The men that pulled were: Crocker, Brigham, Littaner, Jacobs, Stow, Schwartz, Smith, stroke Bancroft, and coxswain Allen; and, considering that it is the first time for three months that they have had oars in their hands, they pulled remarkably well. The boat first went down the river, then turned and passed the boat-house, and was greeted by a "three times three" from the crowd which had come down to see them...
...just begun in Boston will be similar to the course which was given here, but more in the form of lectures than of mere translations. This gives an excellent opportunity to get a clear idea of Dante's great work, and those who omitted to hear Professor Norton last winter should endeavor to attend this course, if they can manage to do so. An analysis of the portions omitted and comments on the portions read will secure a thorough understanding and enjoyment of the poem; and the readings will, as we all know, be not only instructive, but also charming...
...malicious damage done it by the students. We hope all will recognize the utility of lighting that dark corner too much to give again a pretext for taking it away. The Weld entries are proverbially uncomfortable, on account of both the darkness at all seasons and the cold in winter that pervade them. This, at least, is a step toward reform; and, doubtless, it depends only on the conduct of the students themselves to get rid of many relics of a similarly barbaric nature...
...have only some eight men in regular training, while their opponents have eighteen. There is material for a good crew in the class, and it is time that it should be fully brought out. It requires some self-denial to follow out a steady course of training through the winter months, but this is the true secret of success. Let '81 take a proper interest in the matter, and she will send an eight against Cornell which will do her honor...
WITH the not far distant close of winter will end the season of our discontent. We are nearly through with those months of the year when there is nothing else to do but grumble. The bell that summons us to our semiannuals rings to-morrow for the last time. Henceforth we must look for something else to attack. Plank walks between Matthews and University, complaints about the Library, lamentations over the squeaking boots of proctors, have all afforded stanch material for dissatisfaction to the College papers. While we should be the first to welcome changes for the better in these...
