...Class Day. Every one knows what to expect of them, and year after year it has been impossible to supply with tickets all those who would like them. The rush at the Chapel door, after the Seniors have gone in, has become historic. Surely it cannot be the general opinion that this part of the day only bores...
...understand that at last the boating-flags are to have a place in the Library. While adhering to the opinion that Memorial Hall is the right place for them, we are glad that they are to be permanently housed in a public place. So important do we deem these flags that we view with serious apprehension the recent distribution of a part of them among members of the crew.

We should have been pleased to see more respect paid to the graduating class, and less open obsequiousness to the Presidential party at Commencement Dinner. For ourselves, we reserve our opinion as to the insult, but we acknowledge our blindness as to the necessity of such a summary step, and venture to say that probably the College would not be to-day under the necessity of repairing the burnt shed behind the Scientific School had it not been for the number...
