...certain books of questionable character which the Library council prudishly, it is said, keep under lock and key, thus depriving us of man's peculiar distinction, - the knowledge of good and evil. Some books may have been put under restriction rather hastily. Walt Whitman was in disgrace, though, to our minds, reading his verses, if a crime, is in itself sufficient penance; and Swinburne was forbidden, while Byron was not. But the list of restricted books has been carefully revised, and the number upon it is now almost ludicrously small. Some may think that they should be permitted to read...
...objection, of the many which it was supposed would follow the publication of the first part, has been presented to the committee. As was announced last week, the meeting in the Gymnasium will be held early in March, and will include all the usual sports, of which a list (though not the order) will be found in another column.

It is well known throughout the college that the two deaths of last year were the result of reckless overwork; and it is difficult to reconcile with...

His professional position requires him to live in an expensive house upon which he pays taxes, though the mortgage upon it exceeds its value. His health is failing from overwork, and, so far as exemption from financial anxiety goes, he is in a worse position than the clergyman. And yet it will be seen at a glance that he is prevented from making any statement of his affairs...
...Yale race is its capacity for quickly sending back to their homes the people whom it as quickly attracts. Nor should the college oarsmen fail to remember that, as one of the newspaper correspondents said last summer, "a well-managed crowd and successful boat-race are inseparable," and that, though all the crowd are not graduates, all the graduates in the crowd suffer whatever it suffers. There are several hundreds of these Harvard and Yale men who would be glad each year to finish up their Commencement celebration by witnessing a race between the representative boats of the two colleges...
