...chief points of the Yale method of distribution are these. Whenever a room is assigned to a student, he may retain it till the end of his course, or may give it up at the end of any academic year and draw for a choice again. An allotment of vacant rooms takes place in June,- the classes drawing for choice in order of seniority. The drawing is for choice of room, and not directly for the room itself. No one can dispose of his choice, or of his room. If any one is dissatisfied with his choice, he can drop...

It is as true a saying as it is trite, that it is wise...

In attempting this, however, there is considerable danger of being anticipated by a third party. Another change...
...technical term, "drawn" a little fine. They, however, had superior stamina to contend against, and they failed, as many have done before. We would urgently advise that the rowers on the Cambridge should once more take a lesson, as they did some years ago, and re-model their method of execution, for unless they do so they will never be able to successfully contend against a good crew sent from Oxford, who have a much superior mode of propelling their boat...
