...report for the passed year the Dean of the Graduate School treats at some length the subject of the requirements for the degree of A. M. As the rule now reads, anyone taking one year's additional courses at Cambridge, provided the courses are approved and passed with credit, can obtain a degree of A. M. This is a great improvement over the custom which lasted up to 1872 of allowing anyone taking an A. B. degree and paying a small fee to obtain without further study, the degree of Master of Arts.

...have improved the most and are rowing in the best form are Falk, Pike and Pierce. The excellence of Falk's rowing is attested by the fact that he is stroking the second crew. His strokes, however, are apt to be very long on account of the extreme length of his body and leg reach. In their particular firmaments, Pike and Pierce are also stars of some magnitude.

...editorials in the sixth number of the Advocate - which came out Saturday - are above the average of Advocate editorials and deal with such pertinent subjects as anonymous contributions, the college conference on Athletics, the Western Club, and the forensic work. The latter topic is dwelt upon at some length and the defects of the present system are clearly pointed out. The Advocate suggests as remedies for the difficulty - the low standard of morality in the course, - a reduction of the yearly number of forensics and "the establishment of a professorship in farensics of sufficient dignity and emolument to secure...
