...three lower classes each intend to enter a first and second crew. Of the first crews, the Junior has been rowing longest together, and, with the exception of one or two weak-places, seems to pull the strongest of any. There is a visible drag in their boat at times, principally after a long row, which no doubt will not be seen in the race...
...mistake to suppose that walking is a partial exercise, or that it brings into play the muscles of the lower limbs to the exclusion of others. On the contrary, the chest is one of the parts most benefited, and by the quickly succeeding contractions and expansions necessary to sustain a rapid gait, the lungs are constantly receiving fresh invoices of purer air than any indoor exercise will admit of. We know of a case where a young man who had lost his voice so as to be unable to speak above a whisper entirely regained it by a walk...
...allowing students to retain their old rooms conditionally, on failure to get others which they prefer, will be discontinued." The dissatisfaction which this announcement has created appears to be widely spread, and not without some reason.

It would certainly seem no more than just that a Junior, for example, should, after occupying a room on the lower floor of Thayer for three years, have the privilege of at last securing a more desirable position...
...before him our writer sends out his thoughts in search of something funny : but witticisms are coy birds and fly high; few are able to capture them at will, or furnish them to order. In nine cases out of ten, wearied with his fruitless endeavors, he descends to a lower plane, makes use of vulgarity, and passes it off for wit. Some, as we have before hinted, seem unable to distinguish between the genuine and the spurious article; others there are who, from their moral status, seem incapable of appreciating anything genuine, who derive their intellectual nourishment almost exclusively from...
...Club much better than it is possible for any undergraduate, however able and zealous, to do. At Williams College the poor students obtain excellent fare at $2.50 per week, while here the fare is poor and insufficient at $4 per week. It may be said that prices are much lower one hundred and fifty miles back in the country than near a large city. This is true; but it must also be considered that a club of three hundred men ought to obtain board at a much cheaper proportional rate than a club of seventy men, and that a professional...
