...careless way of looking at college work. It would be much more charitable, and nearer the truth as well, to suppose that the man who complains is a man who really has found something lacking in some department. In so large a University as ours, and in a transition state besides, it would be strange if there should not be some ground afforded for fault-finding. But the very fact that a student criticises the methods in vogue here shows that he has an interest, albeit not a lively one, in the conduct of the college...
...Harvard in a most savage manner. Its scathing criticism on an account of the Boating Convention in our last issue had for its object, no doubt, the utter annihilation of the Magenta. Still, we feel in duty bound to present No. 7 to our readers, and will here state that, though the article was necessarily written in great haste, our opinions in the main are still the same; and we regret that our space will not allow us to explain and answer this week.

Next came the question of where the regatta should be held. A very few were in favor of some part of the Hudson, and more of Saratoga.

Taylor, were beyond praise in their admirable fitness and truth of sentiment, and the warmth of appreciation which greeted them was more than deserved. The Vice-President...
...exceedingly mean and narrow spirit, which is luckily not shared in by a majority of opulent and influential citizens. The Museum, even in its present condition, is the best in the country; and its extension and improvement will confer honor, not only on the University, but on the State. It has reached its present position mainly through the personal efforts and the personal popularity of Professor Agassiz. But to extend the building or even to support its present necessary expenses, large sums are needed. The amount of these is so large as to be beyond the limit which a private...
