...GREAT many of the woes which form the subject for complaint among undergraduates are imaginary; but there are some grievances which justify grumbling, and among these are the restrictions on our privileges which have been recently voted by the Faculty. We refer, in particular, to the new rule requiring Seniors and Juniors to take twelve hours, and Sophomores ten hours of elective studies throughout the year. We have been allowed, up to this time, to take as many hours each half-year as we wished, provided that the sum-total for the two half-years equalled twenty-four hours...
...events performed creditably. As the Athletic Association desires to be represented at the Intercollegiate games at Mott Haven on May 18, there will be trial-races on May 16 at Beacon Park to select those who will be sent on to represent the College. For further particulars we refer to the officers of the Association; also to the posters that have been placed as conspicuously as possible all round the Yard...

Not a word of advice does he get; on the contrary, another puzzling subject is given...
...portals of University. The College might, at a trifling expense, put glass into the doors, and thus give a man at least a chance to avoid being knocked down before he enters the recitation-room. Another danger which awaits the unfortunate who must enter University descends from above. We refer to the masses of ice and snow which, in ordinary winters, drop from the roof on to the steps, - masses heavy enough to crush the skulls of the whole Freshman class. If the College will place an additional railing on the edge of the roof over the doors, a danger...
