...ancient subject again, but we feel that we have every excuse for suggesting that all the seniors make appointments with the photographer at once. Not only will this be good policy for themselves, in getting rid as soon as possible of the slight inconvenience of setting, but it is needless to say that every one else connected with the matter will be greatly benefited. The photographer can promise much better satisfaction with the class pictures if they are all taken within the next six weeks, and by getting through with this part of the work now, he can begin...
...Oxford is always a strangely fascinating city. Why is it so much further removed from present-day life than its rival university town-Cambridge? It is needless to enter upon an analysis of the fact, but so it is. Oxford belongs to the middle ages. Its spirit is both academic and ecclesiastic. The university is Oxford.

It is unfortunate that their university men should have been obliged to play so many games immediately preceding...
...occurrence which is significant only as marking the feeling everywhere against the old conservative system of governing a college. Far more harm than good results from this injurious spreading of college disturbances by newspapers who seek only to be sensational. The college world is particularly its own, and this needless prying into it by outsiders is only to be condemned. It may come about, to be sure, that there are evils of importance to be corrected, which might be remedied by being placed before the country, but in general it is far better to give much less publicity to these...
