...Nine to be able to assign a large proportion of their work to the first half-year, as a good part of their time is spent during the spring on the river and the field. The consequences of the new rule are evident. Either the honor men will fail in their examinations, and the crew will neglect their electives, or both will overwork themselves and injure their health. We cannot see how the former privilege could injure a student or the standard of scholarship in the College, and we should like to urge upon the Faculty to reconsider this step...
...departure from the old order of conducting the speaking for the Boylston Prizes should not fail to secure a larger attendance at those exercises than ever before. It seems that there is to be a preliminary trial, and only those who come up to a required standard of excellence will be allowed to speak for the prizes.

EVERY one who interests himself at all in our national game cannot fail to be well pleased with the brilliant success achieved by our Nine during the past week. It is somewhat remarkable that one of the very best games played by the Nine for several years should have been played with the same club with which was made the most extraordinary score on record. The game on Thursday week with the Manchester nine displayed some of the fine qualities that have been developed in our men by the careful training of the winter. From the many base hits made...
