...will be in the recollection of all those friends of the parties who were at the Jones's party at Chelsea two years ago, that Mr. J. was there, and there first was introduced to Mary Anne, to whom he instantly began to direct particular attention, dancing with her innumerable times, and handing her things at supper in the most devoted manner. That this attention should be very marked is not strange when the extreme simplicity of the girl's features are taken into consideration. From that period began the intimacy between them which resulted in this morning's catastrophe...
...soullessness of corporations, the heartlessness of directors, or the incompetence of instructors. These effusions do some good, no doubt, but only to him who meets with such mishaps; they in no way concern the public. Real grievances, in nine cases out of ten, can be best remedied by a direct appeal to the proper authorities; a headlong dash into print not only does no good, but does much harm.

The direct money loss of the managers is known to have exceeded $500, and is believed by them to have been nearer $800. Even had the attendance of spectators been large enough to make the receipts exceed the expenses by $1,000, the managers would have been opposed to undertaking another Freshman race...
...know how much the class races were going to amount to, as in that year they were rowed for the first time for a long while. When the Crimson said that a Freshman race clashes with the interests of the 'Varsity, it did not refer simply to such a direct act as refusing to give up a Freshman oar to be a substitute on the 'Varsity; the feeling that prompted that refusal is of far greater importance than the act itself; it indicates a division of interest and purpose which is in great measure the cause of our many recent...
