...Convention of the Rowing Association of American Colleges, held in Hartford January 21, 1874, adjourned to January, 1875. There are many reasons, we believe, for setting the time of meeting at an earlier date.

We print below a Circular from the Dean, which exactly expresses our opinion on the subject of hazing; and we have a word to say in relation to the new Commons in Alumni Hall. Let howls and bread-fights become things of the past; and let allowance be made for the jars which must occur in the working of so new and vast...
