...they read them, must be tired out by their frequency; hence, if they are ever written with any other purpose than to fill up the columns of the paper, that frequency could well afford to be lessened. To us, many of the Faculty's doings seem blamable; but we cannot or will not justly appreciate their reasons for thus acting, and would it not be better to devote an occasional column to the good deeds of the body, rather than half the paper to a querulous enumeration of its atrocities...

...going to press, rebukes us for a levity which would be objectionable on the score of taste alone, and for which we hasten to express our sincere regret. A college paper, as the Courant justly says, is not the proper place for a religious discussion. But we cannot resist the temptation to say a few words on this matter, especially as it has occupied so much space in our recent exchanges. Religious feeling cannot be criticised and judged like other things; yet, although the semi-familiar manner in which religious matters are referred to in the Yale and Princeton papers...

...Brunonian explains that Brown has determined to send no crew to Saratoga for the following "simple" reasons, which cannot help being "satisfactory to the most ardent friend of Brown or the dullest intellect": first, one of their best men could not row, for reasons not made public, and of course they would not send a crew which did not contain all "their best men"; and secondly, they owe "quite a sum" for last year's expenses, and wisely consider that it is best to incur no new debts until the old ones are paid...

...cannot blame the College for this; at least we do not intend to, for we would fain fancy the appropriation as old as Class Day itself, and that while the classes have grown, and the expenses grown as well, the sum originally given has been maintained, and no increase made, merely from oversight, or perhaps it has never been asked for. Possibly the present Senior class will enjoy their Class Day the more from understanding their share in the transformation that ensues a day or two before Class Day, and understand why there are "necessary Class-Day expenses...
