...Book Table. The 'Varsity's change of cover is no improvement, we fear; but the 'Varsity is emphatically a paper of sound judgment, - except possibly as regards the Notre Dame Scholastic, with which it is waging bitter war on the question of a college paper's right to publish official communications. The Yale News appears to be seriously alarmed at the indications of a "brace" by Harvard in athletic matters. "When Harvard braces it means that there is work ahead. We cannot afford to lose what we have won." The Sun that visits Cornell daily is disposed...
...another column we publish a communication upon what the writer considers dangerous concessions on the part of the College to the principle of co-education. The special grievance that has called this forth is that ladies are allowed to attend Professor Hedge's lectures in German 8, - a regular College course, - and that they have come in such numbers that the elective has been assigned to a new room, Harvard 6, in which there are no facilities for writing, and the ventilation is notoriously bad. So far as this is concerned, we entirely agree with the writer when he says...
...races last spring, and seem to offer several possible candidates for the 'Varsity. As usual with the autumn races, the weather was not very favorable, and the water was far from smooth. Some defective points in the arrangements for the race are alluded to in the account which we publish elsewhere, and we might add that there were no tickets to the Union Boat House, which occasioned some dissatisfaction.

The fact that entirely different plays of Shakspeare are read would seem to make it as independent a course as the second year of Greek 8 or 9 ; but the claims of the English language and literature are comparatively slight in the eyes of certain instructors. We do not think that our correspondent puts the case too strongly. The fact that the list of electives were handed in four months...
...publish in another column a letter from a correspondent concerning a recent editorial article in the Harvard Echo, - a letter which we do not think is open to the charge of misrepresentation or malicious exaggeration. The Echo has a perfect right to criticise, in a courteous manner, any line of conduct that seems unjust; but it has no right whatsoever to insult an instructor who may have displeased some portion of the men in his elective. Both the matter and the spirit of the article in question call for the severest reproof from all who have any desire that...
