...champion pie-eaters," "champion walkers," etc., etc., we should hope that no gentleman or set of gentlemen would aspire to be called "champion" anything.

We have, and have had for two years, the best crew that ever sat in a Harvard boat; and we think that they may possibly...

It is not inappropriate for us to express publicly our sense of obligation to the World for the interest always manifested in matters at Harvard. Still we must confess, that, however accurate its information in regard to doings at other colleges, those at Harvard have not always been correctly reported.

To Captain Thayer we have only to reiterate our praises for his excellent services both as a general and as a player, and our thanks...
...surprising that Omar should have busied himself with the same problems that are occupying men's thoughts to-day, for they are the questions that men in all lands and in all ages have been trying to answer; but the remarkable fact in regard to him is, that his mind ran in the same veins, and evolved the same conclusions, as the minds of the leading philosophers and scientists of to day. It is only within a few years that theologians of established worth have been willing to admit truths in regard to the future life that the astronomer poet...
