...subject whether or not the great preparatory schools have been fitting men in a too advanced degree for the freshman class is one that has been attracting some little notice. Recently we noticed an article in one of the school papers commenting on this fact, and it seemed rather inclined to believe in the affirmative. This is by far the most natural supposition and we are inclined to think it the correct one for several reasons. These advanced fittings are aimed to cover a large part of the work of freshman year if not quite all, while it is very...
...fairly hugged each other with joy as their favorite team would make a good play. Had the referee done his duty he would have disqualified several of the players, and notably so Twombly, the quarter-back of Yale. He was just a bit too active in his position, or rather out of his position, and on one occasion received a stinging right hander square from the shoulder from one of Princeton's men.

In regard to doing the best a man can with his powers, we remember a saying of Fox's, the orator, who was a most pains-taking man. Hearing that some one was greatly surprised...
...meeting of the union was held in Sever 11 last evening. Mr. Watson was elected secretary pro. tem., and the society proceeded to debate the question, Resolved, "That representatives in Congress and in state legislators should vote according to the wishes of their constituents rather than according to their own convictions." The principal disputants were Messrs. McArthur, '85, and Carrier, '85, for the affirmative; and Messrs. E. A. Hibbard, '84, and Goodale, '85, for the negative. The vote of the house on the merits of the question was affirmative 6, negative 35; on the merits of the debate...
