...Tufts College was represented by Professor Shipman. There were also in attendance Professors Newton of Yale, Palmer of Harvard, Westgate of Wesleyan, Williams of Brown and Rice of Williams. The leading topic brought up in this meeting was "Philosophy;" next fall the subject will be "Modern History." The chief interest in the session centred on the treatise prepared and delivered by the aged and honored philosopher, Mark Hopkins, of Williams, entitled, "The Best Method of Teaching Philosophy...
...Burton and Wister; but still enough remain to guarantee a reasonable degree of success and a sufficiently high character for the book proposed. Besides it is very probable that, if it is desired, the committee could secure the active assistance of several members of '82, who took an active interest in the enterprise last spring.

If the support given to the project this year is not more hearty than it was last, we fear that...
...good showing of the freshmen in the scratch races last Saturday morning, both in style of rowing and in numbers, has awakened an interest in their welfare. Although it is too early to prophesy much, still a glance at the candidates will show that there exists fine material from which hard work and strict attention may form an excellent eight. The men, however, must be cautioned that the strictest regularity in coming to the gymnasium is necessary; it will never do for a man to present himself for a day or two and then be absent for the rest...
