...confidence in the result of the race with Yale. On Friday morning our crew were rowing better than Yale, and looked much stronger and more reliable; and it was then evident that, without accidents, the race would not be so close as the daily papers had led us to expect. On Friday afternoon the strong south-west-wind rendered the water too rough for shells, and the race was put off till the morrow. In the evening our crew took a short practice pull, and were all in excellent health and spirits. They anticipated a hard race and victory...
...proposed rifle-match with Yale will not take place, as the H. U. R. C. could not send a team to New Haven by the night train, and expect the men to be in good enough condition to shoot a rifle-match on their arrival, on which condition only the Yale club accepted our challenge; and they have finally refused to shoot at Springfield or any other intermediate place...
...heartily glad that it has been done. Columbia, much disappointed at Cornell's backing-out, is anxious for a race, and seems willing to place herself at some disadvantage in order to get one.

Harvard cannot be expected to row two races every year; and the wisdom of excluding...
...goodies are not wholly to blame for the wretched way in which they do their work. What kind of attention can we expect a woman will give to sweeping and dusting, who is paid only forty cents a week for the care of each room under her charge? The trouble lies in the parsimony of the financial managers, who prefer to employ the untidy, clumsy, unintelligent Irish at the rate of fourteen or eighteen dollars per month (in proportion to the number of rooms cleaned), than to secure, at slightly higher rates, neat, careful, and efficient workwomen...
...harmonized Class-Day difficulties, no greater surprise or consternation would have been felt in our College world than was experienced last Saturday evening on the announcement of the result of the first game with Yale. The record of our Nine has been so good this year that much was expected of it, perhaps too much. So, at least, think the Nine, who feel that they get little praise when they win, so much is it taken as a matter of course; but when they unfortunately lose, they are followed, not with sympathy, but with fault-finding and audible imprecation...
