...large number of men who have applied for honors, this year, shows that more of us are beginning to feel an interest in sound scholarship. There has been a steady increase, for the past few years, in the number of those who go into these examinations; and it is by no means impossible that a time will soon come when to graduate without honors will be as much a sign of a loafer as to take them now is the sign of having done hard work. Many a man graduates at present without honors who has made excellent...
...scratch-races last Saturday were a mere repetition of those we have witnessed during the past few years. Perhaps they were a little worse than usual. There was a series of fouls in the six-oared race, although there were two stake-boats. In the four-oared race the rowing was only tolerable. The fact is that the whole system of conducting scratch-races is bad, and we can never hope for anything better until it is changed. The crews, by some plan or other, ought to be chosen at least a week before the race. Even if the regular...
...recent award of the Bowdoin prizes for dissertations of excellence reminds us that the incentives to exertion in the fields of literature are confined, with us, entirely to prose.

At Oxford the prize poem is something which is struggled for, and the successful man is justly admired. That such a prize...
...reputation of our foot-ball eleven has grown to such an extent in the past two years that on Monday they will be called upon to face adversaries whose very coming is an honor to us. The Canadian "team" will be much stronger than the one we were fortunate enough to defeat last fall, and we cannot but look upon our chance for victory now as extremely doubtful. Whatever may be the result of the game, we have an opportunity of repaying, to some extent, the hospitality we have received in our visits to Montreal, and which has often been...
...study of Political Economy in the Sophomore year, announced in the last number of the Crimson. Our contributor argues soundly that nothing is of more importance for a man in this country than an elementary knowledge of economic science. The study of the prescribed course for the past few years has been little more than a hasty grind for an examination, and we suppose that to be the reason which has induced the Faculty to discontinue the study. But, however hasty the reading of the text-books has been, certain fundamental truths have dawned upon minds which otherwise would have...
