...between the faculty and the senate have been preserved. Unlike every similar body, probably, the senate has the sympathy of the faculty to a greater degree than that of the students. The new system of government, of which the senate is merely a phase, was at first as thoroughly misunderstood at Amherst as it has been since throughout the college world, and the senate shared the same disapprobation and ridicule. The old disfavor is, of course, rapidly dying out; the senate is no longer expected to accomplish impossible things, and depreciated because it does...
...should be better understood by the students, that their decisions should no longer be forced on the students without their giving the students a full knowledge of reasons and causes. Members of the faculty have continually felt that they were at cross purposes with the students, that the students misunderstood them and their motives, and that they often misunderstood the students.

...whistle having proved misleading, the start will be made as follows: The referee from the "'67" will call out the preparatory warning, "are you ready," and ypon receiving no answer, will fire a gun or pistol as the final signal.

A year or two ago the shells were started for the first time from boats moored in the stream. This made a correct alignment more sure and easier...
...seldom that we have cause to complain of the treatment of Harvard in the columns of the daily press, on any other score than that of being misunderstood. But in the case of one of the Boston dailies, the Herald, we feel that strong language is required. The attitude of the baseball editor of that paper on all subjects connected with Harvard, can be only characterized by the word contemptible. We do not know the reasons that actuate the distinguished journalist in question, but can only attribute them to some personal feeling. We feel sure that the management...
