...this service, and with a desire that its benefits should be lasting, we must not, through pure indifference, fail in our attendance, and cause the Vesper services to be discontinued. Judging from the large attendance at the service yesterday, however, there is little danger that this will be the fate of the Vesper services, and we hope that the first meeting is a type of all those that are to come...
...praise-worthy zeal in preserving quiet and order; but we also take a curious way to apply it. For instance, all disturbances in a private room are instantly checked, the moment the sound thereof reaches the precise proctor's ear, and woe betide the man who by some ill fate occupies a room directly over the proctor. But what a contrast to this is presented where any body of the students, notably a certain sophomore society, may with impunity wake the echoes of the Yard absolutely at any hour of the night with the joyful news of newly elected members...
...assignment of college rooms has taken place, and now there are, presumably, many undergraduates who are bitterly moaning their fate in being obliged to remain outside of the college buildings during their entire course.

Old graduates express the utmost surprise when told that student singing is very seldom heard in the yard, and recall with pleasure their own college days, when any chance...
...list of final examinations has been posted and is received with the usual comments, favorable or otherwise. The freshman looks upon this formidable list with hardly the awe which the mid-years inspired, yet there is far more of fate hidden in these cabalistic figures than the mid-years could possess. Aside from this, too, the freshman who gets through all his other examinations long before, will find a fatal trap for his detention in the Physics on the last day. In the position of this and the English C, that is, the junior English examinations, the faculty has shown...
