Several men have been lately wearing, we presume through ignorance, in the gymnasium, the cap which has been adopted by the University organizations for the ensuing year. The cap consists of black and red stripes, of about an inch in width, and is a visorshaped hat. In fact, the same as the one used until now by the cricket club. We believe that Brine is ready to redeem the hats of these men, and if not yet, they will hardly wear them as they are distinctly the badge of a present member of some one of the regularly organized university...

...find a record of the real student life of the college;-the rolls of the social clubs; the record of the university teams. Here the freshman proudly finds his name printed among the members of the Canoe Club, or Harvard Union, and promptly sends home a copy marked in red ink. It is but natural, then, that the appearance of this important work should be awaited with interest, and that, when it is issued, it should be carefully scrutinized and sharply criticised if found to fall below the standard of its predecessors. This year the students have been subjected...
