...turn to boating affairs, we find that since 1875 Harvard has won four out of the seven four-mile eight-oared races; that in 1879 Yale met with the worst defeat ever known in the history of rowing. As Yale crews have always been superior to Harvard crews in weight, and sometimes in strength, the above record goes to show the superiority of Harvard's management and skill...
There is something really amusing in the grim vigor with which all the publications of that great college, which cannot for the life of it support an illustrated paper of its own, slash at the productions of more ambitious colleges. We have all given up hoping that Yale will ever evolve out of its conservatism sufficient enterprise to put a rival in the field for the Lampoon or The Tiger. It has evidently given up all hope, itself, since the News recovered from those weekly gasps after the (to Yale) Unattainable, which appeared in its supplement last year...
...last, after long and impatient waiting, the ever-belated Catalogue has appeared. Few changes are to be seen in this year's issue to distinguish it from other years, save what has previously been explained.

They are always overwhelmed with 'positive engagements,' and they 'have but a moment to stay, you know,' when they make calls. One cannot imagine these charming, simplemannered, unfashionably-dressed professors ever having been 'airy' young freshmen; and it is just as impossible to fancy these young students ever growing large enough to become charming, simple-mannered professors, wearing old-fashioned clothes...
...idea of allowing the Yale race to take a place of secondary importance, by making our race with Columbia the principal object of our training, is pure, unadulterated nonsense. It is to beat Yale that we subscribe our money and give up our leisure hours to training. Who ever has thought of the Columbia race as anything but an exceedingly subordinate affair? We believe that we express the true sentiments of the college and university at large when we say that the Yale race should be rowed under any reasonable consideration, and that the Columbia race should not be rowed...
