...Yale Courant reports that it has been found by actual count that of the students assigned to four divisions according to scholarship, 25 per cent of the highest grade use tobacco, 48 per cent of the second, 70 per cent of the third, and 85 per cent of the fourth. The majority of the students at Cornell have, it is said, resolved to give up smoking on the ground of its bad effect upon the health and capacity for study...
...soon. Also those men owing sums from last year are earnestly requested to pay, especially since the debt from last year was so large. Only a little over $700 is needed, and if this can be raised it will be an inestimable help to the crew in their actual rowing, as they will feel sure that all will then be furnished that is necessary. It must be remembered that this is the year that is to decide which college is to be reckoned the best on the water, as there have been since the eight-oared races began three victories...
...Each class works its own work, but it is mere pretence to claim that the work of both is equal.

Harvard, taken in connection with the work of the freshman year, is a just equivalent to the entire course of many of the smaller Western colleges. But when this fact...

But actual experience shows that it does not. Men do not scruple to sign a lie when it comes to a matter of rooms. They excuse themselves by saying that everybody else does it. Of course I will not attempt to show to what extremes such reasoning leads...
Williams has been more fortunate than Harvard with respect to the matter of board. The faculty has recently made arrangements by which board is given at the College Hall for less than cost. The rent of certain college rooms is appropriated towards reducing the price of board, and the actual cost per month, after the reduction, is divided among the students. So liberal an arrangement could not be otherwise than popular, and the accommodations of the hall are full, thus securing a permanent success for the plan. The board given is excellent, at an estimated cost of about...
