THIS is the condition of the Dental School; During the year it incurred a serious deficit of $2,245.24, and was in debt to the general treasury, August 1, 1878, to the amount of $16,56484, an amount largely exceeding the value of the building which it occupies, and which is practically the only security for the debt. In the face of the deficit and debt the professors will forego their scanty salaries, and other expenses can be somewhat reduced; but it is doubtful whether the school can be carried on entirely without endowment. The school has no endowment whatever...
OXFORD, as every one knows by this time, has sent a reply to the H. U. B. C. relative to a race with Harvard next summer, stating that it will be impossible to keep a University crew in training up to August 1. The text of the letter will be found in another column. The reasons given for declining the proposal are that the Oxford term ends early in June, that the 'Varsity men do not keep together after the inter-'Varsity race in February or March, and that it would be very difficult to persuade them to keep...
...seconds, and the handicap would have been absurd. But who do we find at scratch? Incomprehensible as it may seem, this mark was assigned to H. H. Moritz, S. A. A. C., who never won a level race in his life, and whose record is as follows: August 11, 1877, quarter-mile handicap, with 35 yards, beaten off in 58 sec.; December 1, quarter-mile handicap, with 5 yards, second in trial heat, won in 1 min. 1/2 sec, and also second in final heat, won in 59 3/4 sec.; December 3, 1877, quarter-mile run, beaten 7 feet...
...four miles has been received from Cornell. It is stated on good authority that Columbia is eager for a race. Mr. Roberts has been authorized to write an unofficial letter to England to ascertain whether it will be possible to arrange a race with the English University eights for August 1, 1879. The Faculty are unwilling to let the Crew leave Cambridge before the end of the spring term, so it is impossible to fix upon an earlier date and at the same time allow our men a fortnight's training on the Thames. It seems a great deal...
...crew as an expression of their gratitude toward him. Mr. Roberts then rose, and proposed that a letter be sent to Oxford and to Cambridge by the Secretary, unofficially, asking if they would accept a challenge to row an eight-oared race about the first of August on the Putney-to-Mortlake course; he wished first, however, to impress upon Mr. Watson the necessity of his going as coach, for the mistake made in '69 was in not having a proper manager, and he thought Mr. Watson, who was strongly urged to go at that time, should make good...
