...seemed as if order would never come out of this chaos. The only thing quite clear in all the motions and amendments was that Yale was working hard to allow men to be taken from the scientific schools alone, in addition to the academic departments, and that all the small colleges who have never rowed yet, and who will, in all likelihood, not enter a crew at Springfield this year, were voting with Yale with as much regularity as if it had been arranged beforehand. This furnishes a sequel to the nomination of officers. Harvard energetically opposed all these amendments...

ARRANGEMENTS have been made by J. R. Osgood & Co. to furnish students with portfolios at a very small price ($2.00 or $2.25), provided fifty or more portfolios are subscribed for. They will be strongly made, with cloth flaps. Their size will be 25 x 30 inches, - which size will hold the largest print. Orders for these should be left at No. 2 Holworthy, and as soon as possible. Frames for the Heliotypes can be obtained at A. B. French's, Palmer Street, between Church and Brattle Streets, Cambridge, in orders of a dozen each, at prices varying from...

But although this is the case, in order to obtain justice from others, we must...

...platform and sit down, composedly throwing back the lappel of his coat. See him coolly adjust his eye-glasses (at home he only needs them for reading), and gaze around the room. You would certainly suppose him one of the great men of the land. One of the small boys thinks he is the governor. He rather enjoys this, and does his best to carry out the illusion. He has spied one or two pretty girls in his audience, whom he proceeds to regard especially, to the eminent danger of subverting the discipline of the school. The teacher calls...

...They said that the students had to consult these tables two or three times a day for at least a week after the beginning of each term, and therefore they were tacked up in every room and remained there the year through; and suggested that by the use of small type, enamel, red and bronze inks, a Tabular View could be printed, not awkwardly large, yet with room for several advertisements, and in all respects superior to the flimsy sheets offered at the Dean's office. Upon so much of this business we have nothing to say. But about...
