...Atlantic has an even more literary character that usual. Four articles only, out of the sixteen of the table of contents, relate to anything else than literature, relate to anything else than literature. These are, "Dangers from Electricity," by Professor John Trowbridge, "Woman's Suffrage Pro and Con," "A Forgotten Episode," and "Lottering Through the Paris Exposition." These four evidently are the politics, science and art to which with literature, the Atlantic announces its devotion. The woman's suffrage paper is slightly "pro" and very much "con," but produces nothing new in argument, or any old truth...
...boating' lapsed with the death of the National Rowing Association of American colleges in 1876, and as Cornell won that championship in 1875 and 1876, the title, if it has not died of old age, must still rest with her oarsmen. In making this statement we have not forgotten that an alleged intercollegiate rowing association held regattas in 1883 and 1884, received its death blow in an unseemly squabble on Lake Quinsigamond in 1885, and died of inanition during the summer of 1886.

This is intended to give an early reminder of the service to any who have forgotten it, and to give them time to turn from their other occupations...
Harvard does not, as Princeton's manifesto seems to indicate, deny that Princeton has complied with all the technicalities of the law governing intercollegiate athletics. Indeed she seems to have been unscrupulously careful concerning these since they were her only safeguard. But it must not be forgotten that she has at the same time disobeyed the spirit of the law. If, for example, her players had been above reproach surely the manly and ultimately the least compromising course would have been for her to submit them to the oral examination and then to have urged the technicality...
