...prove the consistency of her position. The Acta Columbiana cheers for Yale, and one by one the colleges come into line on one side or the other; all of which is doubtless calculated to preserve good feeling. The Acta calls, for April 15, a meeting to organize an Intercollegiate Press Association, of which the "chief ends will be to build up a social and quasi-professional friendship among the different editors, and to increase as much as may be possible the present efficiency of the college press." Whether such an association will prove a success, seems very doubtful; we should...
...race in its present form. The keeping of a clear course on the Thames, at the first trial in 1878, was an unprecedented achievement, implying an amount of preliminary labor never before given to any boat-race arrangements in the United States; and that the running down of the press boat on that occasion (by the only man afloat who refused to obey the managers' regulations) failed to result in loss of life was little less than a miracle.

If we are to have coeducation, let it be announced boldly in the catalogue and the public press. If we are not to have co-education, let this insidious move in its favor be stopped...
POOR "Lampy" has gone out, and all this year we have been in darkness, with the exception of a few rays of light from the College press. But at last the Bursar has come to the rescue and made another "extensive improvement." Lamps have been placed on nearly all the College buildings. What a blessing, and at the same time a curse. Henceforth the College will be one blaze of light. No more gas will be consumed in our rooms: the light from outside will be sufficient. Does the Bursar consider that in this way our enormous gas bills will...
