...their stroke, in a so-called race with Yale; at Providence the latter played and won one of the most creditable contests on record. The remarkable manner in which, by steadiness and pluck, Harvard won the last of the games for the championship, is too well known to need further comment; it is not to our past achievements, but to our future athletic interests that we direct our attention at the beginning of another year.

Many of its members, too, who have not taken the highest stand in their studies, have shown such ability that they are pretty sure to make their mark in the world. '79 has formed so large a part of the life of the College during the last...
