...excited but little comment in the college, and has been, perhaps, not noticed at all, that the plans for the proposed new bridge to connect Cambridge with Boston were at first such as to threaten seriously our most important athletic interest-boating. According to the drawings and specifications as they stood at first, the distance between the stringers of the bridge and the surface of the river at high water, would have been insufficient to afford head-room to a crew passing underneath. Luckily for our crews this fact was noticed by the presidents of the Union and Crescent boat...
...loss of 6. The 1092 of 1883-84 was a loss of 4 compared with 1882-83. The most noticeable loss is in the number of undergraduates in the academical department, which is offset by the rapod growth and increase in the Sheffield Scientific School.

The faculty have from time to time done much to increase our interest in morning prayers by improving the services, singing etc., but they seem to have forgotten a very important point-that even students need to be kept above a certain temperature if the interest is to be maintained. It has been...
