...race next March promises to be close and excellent. It is reported that in several years there has been no such good and abundant material at the disposal of the managers as is now offered. The London News says that if Mr. West, who rowed two and three years ago, but not last year, takes the eighth oar for Oxford it will need bad management or bad luck for the southern university to be beaten...
Harvard, Yale and Columbia evince no desire to join the Inter-collegiate Rowing Association. Harvard and Yale experience in the old Inter-collegiate Association was far from pleasing.

They wanted an answer then and there, and would have it; but when they were reminded that last year our challenge was not finally accepted until long after this time...
...notices posted at the Law School are original, to say the least. For instance, the following: "Will the person who through mistake purloined my umbrella please return it to its grief-stricken owner and shout the beer. All will then be forgiven and forgotten." Another notice, posted not long ago, read: "Will somebody please find my knife that I lost and return...
