...tablets, on which shall be engraved the entire record of the Association, with the winners' names, the event, the time, the year, etc. When men see their names engraved on wood (which is the next thing to being cut in stone), placed in a position so prominent as to attract the attention of every visitor, they may take some pride in their own athletic record, and train a moderate amount for a field meeting or winter tournament. The architects would be very glad to hear from any student that has really good suggestions to make about the Gymnasium...
...manage it. The latter alternative was chosen, and the paper remains in the same hands in which it was last year. The popularity which the paper had attained during the last year led the editors to hope for a rather wider circulation than before; and by way of attracting public attention, they issued the circular which has given rise to so much misapprehension. 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.

I wish that this matter might be discussed...
...find that you are like ordinary men. You find your allowance too small. The only consolation that I can offer, is the fact that the Rothschilds are said to complain occasionally that their income does not permit them to undertake certain gigantic schemes which from time to time attract them. Consolation of a more tangible sort is out of the question. Your allowance is quite as large as the family means will allow; so, during the course of the year, you will probably have to go through a good deal of pecuniary tribulation in the shape of accounts and economies...
...weeks from to-day the Yale-Harvard race will be rowed at Springfield; an event which must attract, besides the friends of the two colleges, many spectators, because it is many a year since an eight-oared race has been rowed in this country. Who will be the victors we cannot say until the crews get upon the course. From the newspaper accounts of the "crews and their prospects," nothing can be learned. The men who write them are generally more ignorant than a tyro about boating, and their sources of information are very indirect...
