...would propose that our English course be so arranged that practice shall be given in versifying and in the expression of poetical thought. If this were done, we claim that the present unfavorable critics, recognizing the difficulties arising in making a single smooth couplet, would be more willing to admit that he who really can express himself rhymetically and with pleasure giving words, has a right to expect from them more than sneers of indifference. The trouble now is that the poets are too few in number. We write essays in abundance and the essayist meets with no slander...
...number of delegates have been expected and the committee of arrangements are at a loss, how to maintain them in this great city of Cambridge which boasts of not a single respectable hostelry. The management of Memorial Hall has helped them partially out of their quandary by offering to admit the delegates to the hall, allowing them to occupy the seats of those students who spend the holidays at home.

...seniors. In fact we keep in type a full set of notices bearing on this subject, from the mild preparatory announcements which mark the entrance of new committees upon their tiresome task, to the frantic appeals which so surely denote the close of the college year. This year we admit that we have been outwitted. None of the customary notices have met the approbation of the new committee. Something more startling was demanded, and the columns of yesterday's issue contain the initiatory menace of the committee. "Seniors are urged to sit for their photographs now, in order to avoid...
