...press, the prospects of either race with Cornell seem very poor. The University challenge, though sent three weeks ago, has not been answered, and the Freshmen do not seem likely to come to a decision as to the place where they are to row, Cornell being as strongly in favor of Saratoga as we are in favor of New London. The latter course is undoubtedly the better for us, and probably the cheaper for both parties, so that we should be glad if Cornell could be brought to see its advantages; but if she persists in favoring Saratoga, we shall...
...Nassau Lit. for March shows, and acknowledges that it shows, "an irritated sensibility" in regard to the troubles at Princeton. It is especially severe on Cornell in general, and on the Era in particular, and calls attention to the disturbances at Cornell some time ago. The Princetonian also uses the "tu quoque" argument as a weapon of defence, by complaining of the daily papers' silence in regard to the Yale men's reception of Count Johannes.

...live in Weld, or are in the habit of paying frequent visits to that hall after dark, will appreciate the Bursar's kindness in promising to place a gas lantern in the portico between the two entry doors. Such a lantern hung there a few years ago, but was removed because of the 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...
