...person whose existence is as deliberately monotonous as that of most of our compatriots will almost infallibly wear the same coat from morning till night, and talk nothing but shop. I have lately been reminded of this fact, in a rather disagreeable way, by meeting a certain number of college men. As I felt some interest in what was going on in Cambridge, I tried to talk with them upon the subject; and I found them, without exception, to be as one-sided as business men of fifty years' standing. Brown, who was something of an athlete, could tell...
...price of board at Memorial Hall for November was $4.67, which is less than was anticipated. The affairs of the Association, however, have reached a crisis. Men still continue to leave; and if the number is further diminished the Association will be unable to go on after the holidays. To ascertain what is the feeling among the students on this question, a book will this week be placed at the Bursar's office, which men who are in the Association and who intend to stay in it are requested to sign; men who now board outside willing to come into...

The captain of the crew does not, we believe, agree with the views expressed by our two correspondents...
...candidates for the Freshman crew number over twenty, and the captain, Mr. Ware, will have no lack of material from which to select a first-rate crew. Before Christmas a challenge is to be sent to the Yale Freshman for a race to be rowed on the same day and at the same place as the University race, and in case this challenge is accepted, the candidates will leave the College gymnasium, where they are now at work from half after four until half after five each afternoon, for the boat-house gymnasium. The candidates run three nights...
