...play, although he appeared on the field and made the attempt. In neither instance did these professional substitutes receive any compensation for their services. Had these games been played in term-time we could have filled the vacant places with substitutes; as it was, we were obliged to make use of any one we could get, in order to save ourselves from playing with eight...
...Executive Committee of the Boat Club desire to call the attention of students to the following rules regulating the use of boats: ??? Any member of the University who subscribes for the support of the University Crew thereby becomes a member of the Club. 2. Members of the Club can have the use of the boats upon payment of three dollars for the Fall, or five dollars for the Spring season. These amounts include a key to the boat-house. 3.

Each petition will be original and convincing. The Freshman petition will be timid, uncertain, but innocent; the Sophomore, ingenious, but insincere; the Junior, reckless; the Senior, independent, but having a "matter-of-course" air. From a moral point of view the new device is unobjectionable, since no one will be responsible for the nature of his petition...
