...method of meeting this evil, decision is certainly difficult. To us no plan seems better than that of trial by jury - the jury to be composed of members of the college. The plain is not without precedent, for already at Bowdoin it has been success fully tried. Also the Amherst Senate has shown itself capable of serving as a judicial body, though not specifically in matters of cribbing, yet in matters relating to general college offences. We believe that trial by jury would not only put a check on the practice itself of cribbing, but also eventually turn general opinion...

The party consisted of four Germans, two Russians, two Roumanians, and one representative each from Poland, Switzerland, Greece, and America, and a wild fantastic group they made, both in appearance and in opinions.

There is a reasonable probability that a winner last year, if still qualified to enter, will also be successful this year...
Four years ago then, the "Crimson," the "Herald," and the "Advocate" often covered the same ground in the editorial and item departments. The "Lampoon," "Advocate," and "Crimson" frequently had articles similar in character, the "Crimson" and "Advocate" being very much alike. It was plain that some process of differentiation was necessary. Accordingly in the fall of 1883, the "Herald" and the "Crimson" combined under the title "Herald-Crimson," afterward CRIMSON. This new paper differed little from the "Herald." Moreover, the "Advocate" has slowly changed, by giving less space to current events, leaving such things to the daily paper. It also...
