...transparency deserves the consideration of every member of the class. The writer disapproves of the decision of the class to carry its vote, unfavorable to the Republican candidate, on a transparency in the parade, as a breach of hospitality to the republican party. In our opinion, by far too serious a view of the question has been taken. It is unnecessary to repeat what has so often been remarked, that the students, as shown by the burlesque costumes worn in former years, regard the whole parade as a lark, Each of the other classes will carry the result...
...regulations that shall control the contests so frequently recurring between the athletic clubs of the different colleges. One of these games-foot-ball-it is charged, has degenerated into methods bordering on the barbarous and brutal, while others have engrossed so much of the attention of the players as seriously to interfere with the higher and real work for which colleges exist.

...course, coupled with the shunning of another would come under "outside individual efforts" and would not at all weaken the necessity of a thorough study of the less popular course. This is the spirit of President Porter's reply, and it is an effort well calculated to provoke serious reflection and, perhaps, conviction. English is declared unequal "academically" with Latin and Greek. A thorough knowledge of the classics is declared necessary, while History and Political Economy and subjects akin to them are reserved for later reading. Modern languages and Science are given the preparatory schools as their proper sphere. Whether...
