...great deal that is disheartening and disappointing to an instructor who takes any interest at all in his sections. Because a course is easy, a fellow should not entirely neglect all preparation of lessons in the same; on the contrary, regular attention should be given to a "soft snap" for the very reason that it is "soft" and does not occupy so much time as other courses. We all know how easy it is to neglect the above-mentioned courses, how much they are neglected, and unless an improvement is made in this direction we fear that many will experience...
...knew it would be a bill. Breakage at last dinner, $5." Lying down again on the sofa, I try to think of my thoughts. "Three days before that examination, and haven't opened a book, - that's refreshing. What can keep chum so long?

Four reserves all his force for the last part of the stroke, using his back to little purpose...
...recover. He also has an awkward habit of sticking his elbows out at the finish. Littaner reaches out too much with his shoulders, hurries the recover, and does not sit well up at the finish. He wants more "lift" at the beginning and more snap. Littaner improves very fast, and his form is one of the best. LeMoyne, '77, does not sit up well at the finish, reaches round with his outside shoulder, and does not keep his back straight. LeMoyne is the shortest and lightest candidate, but does his full share of the work: should he part with...
