...glad to learn of the revival of the Lampoon, and feel confident that it will meet with a hearty support from the College in general. Though the paper did not last year fully maintain the standard of excellence which it had before reached, yet this was probably due to the fact that some of the editors had graduated, and could not, on account of outside matters, bestow upon it the time necessary for complete success. For this reason we are happy to learn that the paper is to be controlled by undergraduates, and under their management we have no doubt...
...shown that the present system is successful. It is hard to see the advantages of a college legislature, in which imaginary bills, committees on imaginary business, and all the intricate measures of a legislature, are imitated. Indeed, we do not believe that the members of the Union would long maintain their interest in such proceedings.

Surely the thanks of the class are due to the Faculty, who have so promptly responded to the wishes of a large number of undergraduates, thereby recognizing the right of petition on the part of the latter, - a right the moderate exercise of which is to be commended...
...continued, the College need feel no doubt of the result of the race with Yale. As to the class crews, they are all well under way, and, judging from present appearances, the race this spring will be most exciting. The Freshmen, in particular, are doing well, and if they maintain a unanimity of feeling amongst themselves and pay careful attention to their duty, there is no possible reason why they should not win in their race with Columbia. Of course it is impossible, as yet, to form any opinion as to the result of the class race...
