...DRENNAN.THE new term of Annex opens with an attendance of 42, nearly twice the number of last year. There will be about 30 classes, or about one maiden and a third for each class, on an average...
...interesting exhibition than has yet been given by a Harvard-Yale race on the Thames, - the event was a thing of profound indifference to the public. "Absolutely nobody" went to see it. Not two dozen undergraduates from Columbia and not one dozen from Harvard were in attendance. The whole number of people attracted from out of town was less than 200, and the New Londoners themselves very generally ignored the show. Exactly 162 tickets were sold to the grand stand, which was constructed at a cost of $1,200, and had a seating capacity for 3,000 people. The direct...

Still, although it was annoying to find the books of reference in the hands of those who had less right to them than the Harvard undergraduate, it was a trifling matter; and besides, a limited number of outsiders had long been permitted the use of this Harvard institution.

Finally, they receive their instruction in the College buildings...
ANOTHER manifest injustice has at length been remedied. There is no substantial reason why the Junior Class should have two hours of elective work and six Themes required of its members, in excess of the number of hours allotted to Seniors; and it is therefore a pleasure to learn that the former burden has been removed. Henceforward the work of the Juniors need not exceed twelve hours of recitation a week, with the usual margin of one hour to compensate for any unavoidable irregularity. We are also glad to know that this new regulation is carried into immediate effect; therefore...
...subjects for Senior Forensics is, we believe, justifiable. Why but two subjects - one each to the two divisions of the class - should be given out, we are at a loss to know; and why those subjects should be confined to philosophy seems still more unreasonable. There is a large number of men in each class who have no taste for philosophy, and who have, therefore, never taken an advanced elective in this course. But when subjects such as the last two, which embrace the whole scope of philosophy, are given out, these men are compelled to devote a disproportional part...
