...offensive manners, misinterpretation of non-interference, challenges, and the like, and are thus at times no less responsible than Sophomores for the continuance of the practice of hazing, I send this circular to the parents of both Sophomores and Freshmen, and I urge upon them promptly to throw the whole weight of their influence and authority in favor of the continued abandonment of a custom which has been a reproach to the College and its students, a serious obstacle to the work of both, and which, if not now revived, we may hope has lost its vitality forever...
...races set for Wednesday, July 15, came off promptly. The Freshman race was remarkable for the brilliant spurt of the Princeton men at the finish, which gave them the race over Yale. On the whole, we are inclined to support the action of our Freshmen in not entering for the race.

Several more prizes could have been justly awarded to others, almost, if not quite as deserving as the successful candidates. Among these may be mentioned N. Taylor, H. B. Richardson, and F. C. S.

It is almost farcical that prizes should be given by the College for excellences which are wholly dependent on previous or outside instruction, or on natural ability. In fact...
This Miss Gray was one of those soft, kitten like girls who have address enough for a whole court of diplomacy, but whom you never see without wishing to shield them from the heartlessness of a scheming world. They had been playmates from childhood. Tom had been her chosen champion against the attacks of "that horrid Symperson boy," in return for which she allowed him to draw her home on his sled; she had listened admiringly when Tom had related what he would do "when he was in college"; together they had wept over the woes of the unfortunate Laurie...
