...class races. The whole college is interested in the coming race, as well as their own class more particularly, and we anxiously hope that if defeat must come, it shall not be due to any diminished exertion in the future on the part of the crew. We know how hard it is to resist the charms of the season, but the honor of victory will prove no small reward for such praiseworthy labor. With the success of their predecessors before them, we would urge the freshmen to strain every nerve to add one more triumph to the list of former...
...instructors of the university is that no examination shall extend beyond three hours. The corporation wisely foresaw that, if no such restriction were enacted, students would be constantly treated with the utmost inconsideration by some professors whose sole aim in examinations is not to discover what the student may know, but to impress on him how absolutely little knowledge of the subject he possesses.

...faithful training and systematic daily practice our team has forced its own way in spite of the sneers and satire of the college papers last fall, and are now proving to us how far we were in the wrong. The lacrosse men have never, so far as we know, solicited subscriptions, and have never received any help except a comparatively small sum towards defraying their expenses on the present trip. It is rather surprising to most persons to be visited by cricket men for money, but it would not be so much out of place if the lacrosse men were...
