...YALE graduate of several years' standing sends us a letter treating of the proposed Freshman race at New London, which will be found in another column. He states at considerable length the serious objections there exist to introducing at New London regattas outside the regular University match, and disparages anything of the nature of "regatta tournaments" and "side-shows." Our correspondent's views deserve careful attention, for he knows what he is talking about, - having had the unenviable task of making the necessary preparations for the New London race last summer. As to the question, whether a Freshman race held...
...gives us great pleasure to call attention to the lectures to be given under the charge of the Finance Club, an announcement of which will be found in another column. It certainly shows a commendable amount of enterprise and activity on the part of such a young society to have made arrangements already for giving three lectures, and to have secured such good lecturers. Mr. Edward Atkinson is a practical business man of large experience, and has collected much interesting information upon the subject which he has chosen. The names of Professors Sumner and Walker are familiar to everybody...

Such a race should furnish good sport, and fast time would doubtless be made...
...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 in trim through the summer...
...Syracusan contains articles on "Lord Beacons-field, "Socialism," "The Study of Music," such as one might find in almost any other of our exchanges, and equally stale, flat, and unprofitable; but with one pleasing difference, that none of them is over a column and a half in length. When platitudes are the order of the day, those who write them most briefly deserve most credit and most thanks. In the Bowdoin Orient we find an essay of four columns in length on Emerson, which tells us nothing new, and suggests as little. We should have more patience with it, were...
