...daily have the unfairness of examination-marking shown to us empirically. An instance of this was the unusual difficulty of the paper in German 5 yesterday in striking contrast to the extreme fairness of the papers in both English 6, Spanish 2, and Political Economy 4. To be sure, an instructor may, by marking easily on a hard paper, put himself on a par with an instructor who marks an easy paper hard; but the very difference between the papers makes it uncertain that he will do so. This is an old subject, but we cannot hope for fair marking...
...more graceful for college men, than the bear-garden behavior in vogue at cocking mains and prize fights. It is one of the most creditable things in '89's record that she bore all this abuse patiently, without attempting to retaliate in the slightest degree.

To be sure, it was bad enough when the crew first went upon the water this spring, but even then sometimes half-a-dozen fellows did manage to straggle down to the boat house during the course of an afternoon, but now it is a rarity to see a solitary person there who is not in some way connected with the crew. There is not a college in the country which offers better facilities for seeing the crew while...
...race a success. That the race falls at so late a date should deter none from entering. No one is at present in training for the event, and all have an equal chance. That the race should fall in examination time is perhaps a pity, but we are sure that a short spin on the river in the afternoon will injure no one in his examinations...
