...Nation have excited more warm discussion in College circles, it would seem, than any other articles published here this year. In our number to-day will be found two contributions on these subjects of marked importance, and taken in connection with what has already appeared, they seem to cover the ground of discussion so well that it is probable we shall publish nothing further in regard to them. The general interest taken by undergraduates in this discussion has made us so sceptical as to the real existence of that indifference, that we fear any future agitation of the question will...
...furnished for the accommodation of those who wish to study and read, and the books in the alcoves will be mostly those of reference. The alcoves will probably be closed,-except to the privileged, by a railing running around the room, and will be unoccupied, the shelves that cover the windows being removed to admit the light.

Two or three weeks more of training would work a wonderful improvement in this crew, and even as it is they may surprise every one at the time of the race...
...will read over the work of the year just before examination, in spite of whatever may be said or done, and they will be forced to "cram" as long as the present system of work is maintained, or, in other words, as long as three weeks of examination cover the work of eight months. During this week, before his examinations began, the man who had worked during the year could do wonders, - working without interruption and completely master of his time; while the unfortunate ones on the "ragged edge" of conditions would have a chance for serviceable tutoring...
