...schools, music-schools, preparatory department, etc., which the college affords, but lays peculiar stress on the location. Springfield, Missouri, the seat of this Institution of Learning, is celebrated, we are told, for its salubrious climate. The heats of summer are there less intense than in many places farther north, while this elysium is yet far enough south to escape the "rigors of northern winters." "At the same time the clear, dry air, entirely free from the malaria which infects so many parts of the West and Southwest, acts as a clarifier of the blood, and a gentle tonic...
...also practice daily, in a pairoar. The coach comes out from Boston several times a week, and is earnestly laboring to turn out a victorious crew from the eight strong, rugged fellows who have been selected to represent us at Springfield. The crew are steadily improving, and are much farther advanced than - so far as the writer's experience goes - a Harvard crew has ever been at this season of the year; but probably no Harvard crew has had so great a gap to close up as that left before us last year...
...almost outside the immediate vicinity of Cambridge can be on the Board of Overseers. The College has a large number of prominent graduates who live outside this State, and there is no reason, now that communication is so easy, why a graduate living in New York or even farther off than New York should not serve on the board.

The "other officers" would thus be augmented; it would be quite convenient for a man to know his goody's address when he has lost his key; and there is as much propriety in giving a goody's name as that of Memorial's Steward. Farther on, under "Expenses," we find the valuable information that "expenses vary with the economy of each student," and again "wood and coal ready for use are delivered at the students' rooms, by Cambridge and Brighton dealers, at market prices." "Good tobacco at Whiton's" might be added. At the Divinity School we learn...
Since we are looking at rowing from a scientific point of view, let the men of the present time not only investigate the question of form, but let them go a step farther and solve a more subtle problem, the mutual effects of mind and muscle. Let them study hygiene, and be conversant with the latest hygienic discoveries. By following these suggestions, Harvard would soon become the cynosure of all rowing-men on your side of the Atlantic, and, what is of infinitely more importance, would regain and maintain her supremacy with the least possible expenditure of time and strength...
