...paper eight in which the Crew rowed at New London proved, on examination, to be several layers thinner than it was ordered. Waters has offered to build a new boat in exchange, or to make the requisite alteration in the present...
...secured, in large measure, our athletic successes. The upper classes cannot properly fill the vacant places on our teams; and even if they could, it would be better to secure men who can remain in training for four years, and give in future years that confidence to our Crew, Nine, and Eleven which only the presence of old athletes can impart. If '83 follows our advice about the election of class captains, and fit captains are backed by many hard trainers, the class will undoubtedly not only make a better record in her Freshman contests than...
...Crew and the Nine have added two more to the long list of Harvard's victories. At New London the former gave a pretty exhibition of their stroke, in a so-called race with Yale; at Providence the latter played and won one of the most creditable contests on record. The remarkable manner in which, by steadiness and pluck, Harvard won the last of the games for the championship, is too well known to need further comment; it is not to our past achievements, but to our future athletic interests that we direct our attention at the beginning of another...

The time this year is by no means remarkable, considering that it was made by the help of the tide, and it is to be regretted that the crew which Harvard had hoped would beat the time of '78 could not have been pushed to do their utmost. The fine spurt at the finish of the race showed what they were capable of doing...
