...their legs into the stroke. There seems to be no life in the boat. They overreach badly. They do not keep a firm grip on their oars, and fail to get the benefit of the end of their stroke in consequence. Their time is bad. They are extremely careless and have had individual faults. The stroke which they have been practising is much too slow for a race. Mr. Hooper has been coaching the crew of late. Alexander, the stroke of the University boat, has also been giving them a great deal of attention...
...direct gifts by the Harvard pitcher. They could hit neither swift nor slow balls. Such opponents as these do far more injury than good to the nine. A much better team could have been chosen from our own men than that which represented Bowdoin yesterday. It is conducive to careless base running, poor fielding and slack play generally.

If men would take its editorials in the spirit in which they are written, and above all, would be less hot-headed in jumping to unwarranted conclusions, much ill feeling would be spared...
...reform is needed most of all in the Political Economy Library in University Hall. Men are more careless in the use of books here than in the College Library, and as there is no librarian here, the trouble of replacing books falls in the hands of one of the professors. A little more care and consideration for others in the use of books at both places, would make the trouble less and the convenience greater for all who use the books...
