...admission to this College, and with three months' previous study of the language will be able to proceed advantageously. The drill is not then lost. The expenses are comparatively light. Matriculation, including use of library, is at Munich, for example, $3.50, and lectures for a semester one hour a week are seventy-five cents each; i. e. a course of twelve lectures a week for half a year...
MANY of the undergraduates have often expressed a wish for a vacation in the spring. It is understood that if the students petition in a body for some definite plan, stating that they are willing that the two weeks or one week granted should be taken from the latter portion of the long vacation, such a petition will probably be granted.

In other columns will be found a sketch of his life, intended more for future use than as a supply...
...Yale Record of this week is a good number. Among other things it discusses the place of the next Regatta, approves of New London, and thinks that extortion would be the chief feature of a Regatta at Saratoga. It loses its temper in an attempt to "rough" the Magenta for venturing to say that in its last number it indulged "a wee bit in braggadocio," and makes one remark which may have been funny when it first appeared in Yale papers, though we have forgotten, and another which we do not repeat, because we are unwilling to believe that more...
