...three years. But suppose the undergraduate can write short-hand, it is very difficult to get the necessary practice. In taking lecture notes there is no difficulty; the work is smooth and almost fascinating, but the work comes when the notes are to be translated into long-hand, and unless they are translated at once they are soon forgotten, and finally become almost unintelligible. If an hour is spent in taking the notes, commonly two hours will be spent in translating them. In journalism phonography plays an important part in its own department. No newspaper can be conducted without...
...SHORT time ago the Sophomore Foot-Ball Club challenged the Sophomore Class at Yale to a match-game of foot-ball, to be played according to the Rugby rules. Yale replied to this by refusing to kick foot-ball unless our Sophomores played base-ball with them; unless they consented to come to New Haven and were willing to kick the football match according to the Harrow rules. A committee of five has been appointed to endeavor to understand these stipulations, and if possible arrange a meeting...

...time one third of its members. This number of boats is sufficient when there are no crews in training, and as long as the barges can be used by all members; but when the crews commence going out in the afternoon, then the number of boats is too small. Unless one happens to have rowed before, and has some skill in handling the oar, - unless one, in fact, is on either of the crews, - it is nearly impossible to get any boat whatsoever in the afternoon. The barges are required for the crews, and only the double and single sculls...
...call it what you please, it does not follow that he has no feeling whatever, and could hear of his dismissal or leave of absence during a trying ordeal, and work as well afterward. It is not fair to say that the man brings this on himself, and unless he had neglected his studies, disregarded the College laws, wasted his time, he would not have incurred it. It is presumable, or what is the same thing, it should be held that a man may come to his senses some day and try to do better, and when working hard...
