...Haven and Middletown regattas of October 13, 1877, came very near being rowed a few days thereafter; and, in general, it seems far easier to hold together an existing class six, already flushed with victory, than to organize de now a college eight or even four. Particular classes in different colleges may sometimes happen to be approximately equal in size, even when there is great disparity in that respect between the colleges themselves. Furthermore, an oarsman may fairly be presumed to have less hesitancy in trying his luck when he feels that the odium of possible defeat will attach...
Every branch of Athletics is now so quiet that nothing of interest can be said or written. The New York Athletic Club held two days' sport at Gilmore's Garden, New York, but the times made were poor, and the races devoid of any particular interest.

As he had been expelled from only four schools, of course he had not the slightest difficulty in obtaining a certificate of good moral character when he desired to enter college. The examinations offered a slight obstruction for a time, as George was not especially fond of study, but after a few unsuccessful trials he formed an intimacy with a proctor...
...able to find on the subject of janitors will not disprove the fact that a certain Freshman was charged forty dollars for the care of his room in Holyoke. We take occasion to remind our correspondent that the authorship of editorials is to be referred, not to any particular editor, but to the whole board...
