...Macaulay; 3d Div., from Martin to J. A. Stiles; 4th Div., from M. F. stiles to Young. Themes will be presented by Div. II. on Nov. 16, by Div. III. on Nov. 23, and by Div. IV. on Nov. 30. The first forensic will be handed in by the whole class on Nov. 23, in U. E. R. Themes will be presented in U. 9, and forensics, after Nov. 23, in U. 18. The arrangement of the divisions for the next three months is as follows...
...have only time to sketch roughly the plan I would adopt for the practical application of the system. I would divide the whole number of members of the Dining-Hall Association into five classes, and each of these I would subdivide into two subclasses. These divisions should be composed of men who take chiefly the following subjects: A. Languages. 1. Ancient. 2. Modern. B. Mathematics. 1. Hard. 2. Soft. C. History. 1. Of Events. 2. Of Institutions. D. Physics. 1. Useful. 2. Useless. E. Philosophy. 1. Comprehensible. 2. Incomprehensible...

A laziness fostered, it is true, by a little dilettante culture, and a great deal of affected disapproval of everything...
...considerations other than the mere marking of watches to be taken into account. Time in a race is purely relative, and depends almost as much upon the defeated as upon the victors. In the fall of '74 the Matthews and Holyoke crews had a sharp struggle over the whole course, and up to the last moment it was uncertain which crew would win; it is therefore natural to conclude that the time of the winning crew was as good as it could make. On the other hand, the crew which won this fall was not hard pressed...
...percentage of the amount necessary for the crew was instituted, and was acknowledged by every one to be a very just and equitable way of raising the money required. Each class now in passing through College supports one crew. The Freshmen are assessed thirty-five per cent of the whole amount, because in the first year there are fewer general expenses than in other years, and large subscriptions can be more easily made. Other classes are assessed less, the Seniors least of all, because the expenses of a college course increase as one advances. We are sure that one moment...
