...wish to call the attention of the college to the fact that now is the appointed time for paying all class subscriptions, and we hardly need urge the importance of paying up at once before the end of the year. Many persons are put to great trouble unless these accounts are promptly settled, and it is to be hoped that everyone who have made promises to pay may realize the necessity of so doing...
...call for reform in the telegraph office in Cambridge has been made, and we wish to lend the weight of our influence to the move. The service supplied to us by the Western Union, to which company the office belongs, is certainly wretched as the regulations show. The business people and citizens of Cambridge are subject to this inconvenience all the year round, and must feel it considerably.

Partly on this account, and partly because the faculty seemed disinclined to favor a continuance of the sport, the annual boat-race was given...
...river in the morning, and another forbidding students to walk on "The High" in study hours, without cap and gowns, are relics of the old system of police regulations which used to exist in all colleges and universities in olden times. These last two regulations are what we might call dead letters on the Oxford statute book; no observance is paid to them. These are good examples of a certain class of petty rules and regulations in existence, but never enforced at Oxford...
