...opens fire with some two columns of items, misnamed editorials. It is pleasant, too, to know that "WE ARE CHAMPIONS!" The Courant is mostly Yalensicula and Book Table. The 'Varsity's change of cover is no improvement, we fear; but the 'Varsity is emphatically a paper of sound judgment, - except possibly as regards the Notre Dame Scholastic, with which it is waging bitter war on the question of a college paper's right to publish official communications. The Yale News appears to be seriously alarmed at the indications of a "brace" by Harvard in athletic matters. "When Harvard braces...

We had started early in the morning on a tramp of some twelve miles to the falls of the Bearcamp at Ossipee; and it was while we were resting after...
...will succeed in getting places in the 'Varsity boat if they have the better chance which a longer rest will give them to recuperate from their training and to grow, as most rowing men do in their first summer vacation. As for their not having rowed in a shell except for two weeks before the class races, if it were an understood thing that the class races were intended to prepare the Freshman oar for the 'Varsity, with such advice as the rowing authorities should not hesitate to give, the Freshman shell could be in use, in a year...
