...attention has recently been called by an officer of the Co-operative Society to the fact that it is a frequent occurrence for members to benefit their friends who are not members by making purchases for them on their own tickets. We regret that it should be necessary for us to take notice of such deeds, but the fact that they take place calls for condemnation. It is, or ought to be, manifest that such behavior on the part of members, if not dishonest, at least comes pretty close to it, especially since it is clearly understood that the benefits...
...remember a few things which sound curiously now-a-days Blackheath was then, as now, the great centre of metropolitan foot-ball, although for every match played then on a Saturday afternoon there are now half-a-dozen. Those were the days of "hacking," and scenes which were frequent enough then, nay, which were almost inevitable, would not be tolerated now in the rowdiest of grounds. It was then by no means an uncommon sight to see the ball flying away in one part of the field, while the forward players were crowded together in a heap hacking at each...
...students came aboard, and took possession of the aisle of the car and some seats, and for ten or fifteen minutes showed themselves off in the most unenviable manner. Some of them were oddly dressed, and all seemed to vie with each other in bad behavior. They made frequent allusions to the Conference, called each other brother, and sang caricatures on Methodist songs at our revivals. I remember one of the stanzas or couplets...
...sophomores and freshmen of the Columbia Scholl of Mines have been unable to settle their differences as to the carrying of canes by the freshmen this fall, and consequently the rushes have been frequent. On Tuesday last, a freshman walked through a gate with a light stick, which he twirled gracefully. This was too much for the sophomores, who rushed upon him. The freshmen were getting the best of it, when one of their number, E. Von. Schaick, got badly squeezed in the crowd, was thrown down, and the mass of struggling boys surged over him. When extricated...
Such articles if not too numerous and frequent, add much to the attractiveness of a paper, and give much more satisfaction to a reader than to plod through a tedious essay on "Melancholy," "Imagination," or "George Washington." At the same time it cultivates ability in that line of writing, which fact, though not of great importance, ought not to be overlooked. There is no reason why some in our own colleges should not turn their attention to this line of writing, and produce interesting, readable articles, such as will improve the tone of our papers and make them more entertaining...
