...YALE has had an enthusiastic boating meeting, and has voted to challenge Harvard at once. She has twenty men already in training, and expects to have a coach recommended by Cook. The men will begin dieting this fall, and will remain on the water as long as possible. They have two pair-oared boats for coaching purposes...
...Crew and the Nine have added two more to the long list of Harvard's victories. At New London the former gave a pretty exhibition of 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...

He is an accomplished gymnast, and will give individual instruction and advice in the Gymnasium. He has a seat in the Faculty, and will have full charge of his department. Under Dr. Sargent's instruction the utmost...
