...paper on "Hume" by Mr. R. W. Lovett, '81, in English 7, last Wednesday, was a very fair and accurate statement of the position of that author in our literature.

Last Saturday both contestants and spectators acted in a way which somewhat marred the enjoyment of the meeting. Most of this unpleasantness might, we believe, have been avoided by a better knowledge, on the part of all present, of what was and what was not fair. Above all, such trouble as this...
