...dependence upon the consent of the overseers, * * * provided always that the acts of the corporation shall be alterable by the overseers, according to their discretion. No limit of time is set within which the overseers must exercise their right of revision, or else forfeit it. No one concluding a contract with the corporation would dream of making the overseers a party to the contract. Their powers have been somewhat extended in practice, but their main function at present is to give their consent a matter of form-to the nominations of instructors, and to hold long and interesting debates...
...careful reading of the communication will show the utter lack of facts by which such charges ought to be sustained. In the first place complaint is made because the sittings were given hurriedly. It will be remembered that by the contract all sittings were to be finished by the first of March. Notices to this effect frequently appeared in this paper long before the above date.

If this is true, and the writer believes it to be true, or this communication would not have been written a great...

In regard to the groups, the gentleman who claims to represent the class of '85 is entirely wrong. The contract with Mr. Notman includes the class groups, according to the regular custom. Many of these groups have already been taken, and have been accepted as satisfactory by the societies interested. Most of the societies named in the communication are not included in the class work, and with them the senior class...
...freshman crew, little could be gathered from it, except that the total amount was very large, but not any larger than that of the '86 crew. Such a one is not what is meant; but rather a careful business estimate, such as an applicant would make to secure a contract, or an architect furnish to his patron who wished him to figure upon the cost of building a house of given proportions. Such an estimate could be prepared without very great trouble by the treasurer. The boat club is no new organization, and the legitimate expenses of maintaining the crew...
