...University of Edinburgh. Whether such a plea is likely to have any effect on the men at Harvard is a matter of grave doubt. There are a few, no doubt, who would be willing to make the sacrifice, but most of us are too selfish, too securely bound up in our own petty lives, to give much thought to the unfortunate beings who make up the North...

...will probably be out of the question to get a race with Yale or Harvard next summer. We must first show our quality with some crews that they feel that they can down, and if we beat them-and we must-then will Yale and Harvard be bound to answer a challenge from us.

Then comes the time for Cornell's first appearance at New London. Columbia would undoubtedly be glad...

Nearly three hundred men boarded the train at the Old Colony Depot on Wednesday evening last, bound for New York by the steamer "Pilgrim" of the Fall River Line. Four or five cars were specially reserved for the men through the foresight and care of Mr. Palmer, and they were speedily packed with as jolly a crew as ever went forth from these classic halls to discomfort Yale and back their alma mater. As the train moved out of the depot, cheer after cheer went up from every voice, the manly basses of the upper-classmen being occasionally interspersed with...
