...rather amusing to notice the sincere way in which many of our smaller exchanges compliment the Advocate and Magenta on their cheerful resignation after Harvard's defeat in the Regatta, and applaud their "plucky" hopes for next year.

The second article in the Magenta is a comforting statement of our religious tendencies, chiefly resting for support upon the societies in College which represent the various denominations. Without attempting to discuss the value of such testimony, it may be mentioned that...
