Another point in this connection was mentioned in a late Crimson. If the graduates are to influence or to take part in our boating affairs, it is only right that they should take their place on the subscription list. At Yale, graduates supply about one half the funds necessary to support their crew. Why should our graduates be less generous...
...Bible"* is second to no other humorous production of this age. In it we think we find traces of a familiar pen, and recognize, here and there, the touches of a master hand, whose productions are not entirely unknown to the undergraduate world. There is a delightful vein of half-concealed, often completely hidden humor running through the work and coming into view only to the observing eye of those whose souls are attuned to the spirit of the composition, and whose memories yet retain the exhilarating tone of the Dean's afternoon receptions.

It is certainly a very...

No student's room was burnt, but the floor of each was covered with water from three to six inches deep. The condition of the building is such that no one will be able to get back to his old quarters for at least several months...
