...treasurer of the 'Varsity Boat Club shows an extraordinary deficit in the subscriptions from the freshmen. It has been an unwritten custom amounting almost to a law, that the members of the freshman class shall contribute, as a class, more than their share toward the support of the various university teams. This custom has arisen from a variety of reasons. The reason which at once accurs to all is, that the freshmen are not as yet members of any society, and are therefore saved all society expenses. It is answered that they have their own teams to support, and that...
...ordinary diet should include all the factors which are found in the various tissues together with enough water to amply supply the system. Foods are divided into the nitrogenous or gluten-bearing class, such as meats, and the non-nitrogenous such as fats, starch, sugar, etc. A brain worker requires more fats, and a muscle worker more nitrogenous foods. Over brain exercise sometimes produces insensibility to hunger, and students, after light suppers and long night study, find themselves unable to sleep, although not conscious of lack of food. A light lunch is often a cure for this condition...
...issued its Quarterly of November, 1885. The contents of the pamphlet consists of an oration delivered before the fraternity by Dr. O. P. Gifford, upon "The Problem of Life," an ode by Mr. Hill, Harvard, '85, a poem by Prof. Dudley of Cornell, and reports and letters from the various chapters of the society.

It is in many respects a notable address, showing a tolerable grasp upon the real significance of our modern methods of life, and attempting...
...Hill is pleasing in thought, but lacking in melody. The most interesting portion of the issue is, of course, the correspondence from the various chapters. Williams heads the list, and all the communications give evidence of the great interest which is taken in the society among the various colleges. The editor from the Harvard Chapter is Mr. Fraser, '86. His report is interesting in exhibiting the activity of his chapter. Among other items we are informed that the seniors of the chapter are to give a spread on our next Class Day. The society boasts some of our most successful...
...With the return of the students for another term, work will be begun in earnest by those who are to represent Harvard next summer in various athletic contests. Last year was one of marked success both on land and water, and this year the prospect is bright. In general athletics, Harvard usually holds the lead by reason of more careful, intelligent and systematical training than her competitors have. There is no especial reason why she should not win the cup at Mott Haven again in 1886. In boating and base-ball many of the old men are here, and they...
