CONNECTED with this subject is another; the manner of taking one's meals. Memorial Hall has often been suggested as the place where Commons ought to be, and a writer in our columns has argued that Commons should be made compulsory. But to us the English method, where breakfast could be provided in the room of any student, has always seemed pleasant; of course the arrangement here, quite different from the English, would make it impossible for the College to do such a thing. But really, to prepare a plain breakfast not much work is necessary, nor to prepare...
...well known that in the English Universities every student has a set of rooms, where he sleeps, studies, gives choice breakfasts to his friends, and wines of an evening to large parties. Englishmen coming to this country are much surprised to find that here, as a rule, two students instead of one rent a room and its accompanying bedrooms. Such a system no doubt has its pleasures. With a chum a man who is of social disposition is certain not to be left for any great length of time alone. More visitors are said to come to see two than...
...that at New London is rendered very doubtful by the probabilities of rough water, so that as far as the advantages for rowing are concerned there can be no choice between the two places. Indeed, the former place is regarded so highly by the best professional oarsmen that the English crews who rowed there in September, 1871, have recently signified their willingness to come to the United States again provided the regatta is held on Saratoga Lake. This in itself would seem to be conclusive testimony as to the merits of the course. The writer of the article, "Regatta Course...
...pleasure on our college days, if we were connected with the College in this as in other respects? We all know that gathering around the same table unites persons much more than meeting in any other way. As an example of this plan, we have the Commons of the English Universities. Their Commons are certainly successful, and, having the advantage of their experience, we might improve upon them; for instance, by the adoption of the "European" system of payment, which would enable each student to suit his living to his means. Though one may be moved at first...
Touching the subject, however, the tone of our English exchanges is too patronizing to be agreeable. After striking hard at the rowing of the "States" generally, taking away whatever credit Walter Brown may have deserved for whipping Sadler, and advising any other American representatives to stay at home, they tell us to keep on rowing, striving as heartily as we have done, and perhaps the next generation of Englishmen may meet us on the water as equals. At present it is deemed but idle for even a second-rate crew to measure oars with the best we can bring...
