...understand," said No. 2, "that the Advocate is a much more literary periodical. The poetry published in its columns has been thought worthy of a reprint in book-form. That is the kind of paper I shall subscribe...

These faults appear in their most exaggerated form in one-hour examinations; and, if the proposed changes would make such examinations more prominent (as was suggested in an editorial article in the last Advocate, inserted, as we hear, without the assent of the majority of the board), we regard this fact not only as no recommendation...

The National Association of Amateur Oarsmen has taken active steps to arrange races next year, to be rowed by college crews only, for the "Triton," "Eureka," and "Passaic" cups, which have been offered by the boat-clubs named; and the Association is now in correspondence with the different colleges that are interested in rowing. The scheme, though ridiculed by some, seems to us a praiseworthy one. The system of an intercollegiate association, introducing an annual regatta...
