There is a gang of thieves around Cambridge which is making a business of stealing bicycles, and we warn all men owning machines to be careful about leaving them unlocked. This gang has been at work since the middle of the summer and has now grown so bold that a bicycle was lately taken from the piazza of a private dwelling even at noon-day. We know of seven that have been stolen during the past month. A youth was captured yesterday who confessed that he had taken two machines, but while he was yet in custody another bicycle disappeared...
...after a while many came who wished to study without any practical object. The special students, although they are not compelled to take the examinations, often do so,-working with motives sufficiently earnest to keep up the standard.

The dark room in the basement of Sever hall is in good order, affording every facility for work. Developing trays of all sizes, hypo tanks, graduates, scales, wash-boxes, gas and running water, are at the disposal of members. The sink has been lined through out with zinc, making leakage an impossibility. What the club now needs is an enlarging lantern and more lockers. A small debt remains, which will probably be raised before summer, and it is hoped that an enlarged membership...
Western railroad stocks represented at first a certain profit to the stock holders but the actual money received did not amount to much. The stockholders of western roads have little by little grown to be eastern men, and thus it is that stockholders and the actual running and controlling powers have separated-a state of affairs which cannot fail to be disastrous. The bond holders are the real owners of western railroads...
