...injustice has at length been remedied. There is no substantial reason why the Junior Class should have two hours of elective work and six Themes required of its members, in excess of the number of hours allotted to Seniors; and it is therefore a pleasure to learn that the former burden has been removed. Henceforward the work of the Juniors need not exceed twelve hours of recitation a week, with the usual margin of one hour to compensate for any unavoidable irregularity. We are also glad to know that this new regulation is carried into immediate effect; therefore it will...
...relations of instructors to students have been frequently discussed, but rarely to the advantage of the former. Instructors, it is assumed are invariably as stiff as Prussian grenadiers, and as frigid as icebergs.

...Princeton will hold any field meeting this fall, so that their records cannot be added to the table. The Columbia records at the 100-yards, 220-yards, 1/4-mile, and 1-mile runs, and the mile-walk, cannot be fairly compared with the performances at the other colleges, as the former were all made by men who had more or less handicap given them. We have omitted the records at the hammer from this table, owing to the fact that hammers of different weights were used in nearly every case, so that a fair comparison would be impossible. The standing broad...
