...discuss the boating interests of the College at a dinner in Boston. As this dinner has been unavoidably postponed until next Tuesday, the meeting of the H. U. B. C. in Holden has been deferred until Wednesday evening of next week. Former members of the 'Varsity will be present, and Mr. Roberts, the Treasurer, will give a detailed statement of the financial condition of the club...
...meeting of delegates from Harvard, Princeton, and Yale took place at Springfield, Wednesday, October 9. A telegram from Columbia announced that they would not be present, and would probably have no team this fall.

...fully agree with what was said in the last Advocate about the music at prayers, and are happy to join in calling attention to the matter, and asking for some change. It is certainly useless to try and make a success of the present system; the experiment has been tried for many years and has hopelessly failed. If we must have music at all, let it be instrumental music, as the Advocate suggests. But why must there be music? It does not form a necessary part of the morning exercises, and we venture to say that very many would prefer...
