...portals closed in self-defence, we are fast gaining the unenviable reputation of "sporting" constantly. To make us comfortable would involve but little trouble and no great expense, so, at least, I am assured on good authority. And it seems to me not unreasonable to expect the Faculty to take some notice of a proposal (should such proposal be made) for a change wherein the comfort of so many is concerned. I understand that there has been some talk of presenting to the Faculty a petition to which shall be affixed the signatures of the men in Weld...
...able, in which the students at Gallatin, Tenn., give to the world productions destined to show the results of their constant application to the study of our mother tongue. To give the readers of the Crimson an idea of the progress Neophogen is making in this "specialty" we shall take the liberty of quoting freely from this "literary gem," as the prospectus of the College Pen justly calls the magazine...
...measure a training-school for future University oars. On the other hand, the Freshman race interferes with the University race. Now that we are entering on a series of races with Yale, and with Yale alone, all interfering objects should be set aside.

Our tiles, secured after so much exertion, might have been left in the beds where Nature put them, if they have been brought here merely to be imbedded again...
...fire in Hollis, but we must remind any one who is wearied of it that it took two years of continued articles and remonstrances before walks were laid in the Yard. It is to be hoped that as fire-escapes are more important than flagstones, the Corporation will take a shorter time to procure them. During the Hollis fire an officer of the College was heard to remark: "This is quite remarkable; we thought we were safe from fire." That occasion has demonstrated that we are not more safe from it than the rest of the human race...
