...find in the directions concerning the making out of lists of electives the following example as a model: Philosophy, 2, Cartesianism. If the students are as accurate in making out their lists as this specimen, which is given them as a model, the Dean may expect to find some such choice upon the lists as German, I, Moliere; or English, I, Dante...
...would ever accuse it of such an improper thing; and in the April number is an article by Rev. Benjamin W. Dwight on "Intercollegiate Regattas, Hurdle-Races, and Prize Contests," to which I wish to call the unregenerate reader's attention.

They have, in the first place, to row a four-mile race; this ended, six of them must change all their habits in the boat and pull the old three-mile race without a coxswain. If they had to do the first alone, it would be something beyond what was usual with our crews, but we are so situated this year that, having rowed a longer and harder race than any crew of past years, they will have to do the regular work of former...
