...vault. Under the new board it appears bent on emerging from those purple shades where the pleasant but inconsequent art of canning the "best literary product of the University" has mildly flourished. It has tried to creep out before, only to be thrust back by a surprised and somewhat upset graduate board. The present venture seems to combine in better, certainly less vulnerable, degree the qualities of life and literature. The October number seeks to view and criticize the world within and without, yet with the decorum long considered proper to the University...
...latter races. Caldwell proved to be the "dark horse" in the 880-yard run, beating both Brown of Yale and Meredith of Pennsylvania in 1 minute, 53 2-5 seconds, clipping 2-5 of a second from J. P. Jones's record made two years ago. Hoffmire continued to upset calculations when he defeated McCurdy of Pennsylvania in the two-mile run, covering the distance in 9 minutes, 23 4-5 seconds, 3-5 of a second better than the mark of P.

At least until a much more definite outline of the proposed change is presented, we do not believe that its possible virtues outweigh its positive defects...
There are 50 men from the first third of the Senior class, which includes those from Abbe to Hyde, who did not have their photographs taken during the time allotted them. The men of this group must have their sittings this week without fail, for they will otherwise upset the whole schedule. The prints of the first third of the class will go to the engraver on Thursday, and the committee desires all men to have their sittings before that...
