...reviewing the dormitory rowing of the fall, it is discouraging to notice that the bumping races were not so popular as last year, which in turn fell off considerably from the previous year.

A scrub sport of any sort that employs one hundred men in competitive exercise for a month can hardly be called unsuccessful.

What the Philippine Islands need, is not new laws, not financial assistance, not a change of policy, but merely the removal of all tariffs. Up to the present time all administration has been along...
Seniors and Freshmen are reminded of their class pictures. Nothing is more interesting as a memento of undergraduate days than a photograph of the class, which, despite strong tendencies to the contrary, in still in every way the unit of College life.
