...been received from the Jamaica Plain Club. Although the project of a combination regatta has not met with the encouragement and support from the amateur clubs of Boston and vicinity which was expected, there is a fair prospect of our having two interesting races. The single-sculls will attract no little attention, and the Union and Harvard four-oars ought to make a good race. It is a matter of regret, however, that none of the associations challenged is willing to send a six-oared crew. The race which it was hoped would take place, May 25, between...
...well-known fact that some electives are much more popular than others, and attract a much larger number of students; and we had always supposed that the instructors not only recognized this, but even took a just pride in it, considering a crowded section a tribute to their method of handling the subject. It was, therefore, with great surprise, to say the least, that we heard from a friend of an instructor in a deservedly popular elective who announced his intention of making the course as difficult as possible, and of giving a hard examination-paper "for the purpose...

The meaning of this was nothing more than that they hoped for encouragement from the friends of Harvard away from Cambridge; and that, while edited by Harvard men and looking at things from a Harvard point...
...section of the class might be fully satisfied. It may be objected that this involves a destruction of old customs; but I am told that our Class Day is not above thirty years old, and it certainly has become unwieldy and tiresome. A week of festivity, too, would probably attract to Cambridge the friends and relatives of students who reside at a distance. People who do not care to undertake a journey for the excited rush of a single overcrowded day would very probably like to be present throughout a gala week. I wish that this matter might be discussed...
