...question as to whether the influence exerted is deleterious, we would commend a perusal of the article on our first page. Of course there is no danger of such a step being taken here as has been taken by the Amherst faculty; but a consideration of results which would follow such action at Harvard, with its numerous provisions for occupying the time and attention of its students, may be of value in helping to reach a conclusion in regard to the feasibility of such actions at smaller colleges...
...they formed more than 12 per cent. Forty-eight courses were offered in 1869 and 160 in 1883. America, with Harvard in the lead, was gradually reaching a position where she could compete with such nations as England. Germany, and France in the matter of colleges. Professor Palmer followed. He claimed that the greatest opportunities were offered to a student entering Harvard. His success depended on his judgment and himself generally, as a matter of course, but Harvard was aiming more than any other college in America to discipline the character of her students.

...juniors have made some improvement during their vacation but their time is still rather poor and they row a very short stroke.

The whole crew except stroke sliver out at the finish. No. 6 faces his blade too much and hurries down on the recover and No. 3 does not get his catch hard enough.

...have always drunk wine - chiefly claret. As to the use of wine, I can only speak for myself. Of course, there is the danger of excess; but a healthy nature and the power of self-control being pre-supposed, one can hardly do better, I should think, than 'follow nature' as to what one drinks and its times and quantity. I suppose most young people could do as much without wine as with it. Real brain work of itself, I think, upsets the worker and makes him bilious; wine will not cure this, nor will abstaining from wine prevent...
...thing is plain. Cornell must again assert itself as independent of any American model, or ever hold itself in its present position. Yale and Harvard are infinitely above us and always will be so, unless we follow a course distinct from theirs. We cannot compete with them on their own grounds. Cornell must take an advanced position, or be left in the lurch...
