...more entertaining reading. Of the Vassar Miscellany we have little to say, because there is so much to praise, so little to - not condemn, but differ from. It is a model among the monthlies; the department, De Temporibus et Moribus, we have sufficiently commended heretofore . . . The Cornell papers form the strongest possible contrast to the Miscellany, - captious and undignified in manner, engaged in quarrelling with each other, discourteous in the extreme toward other colleges.

The oarsmanship displayed in the races was of the crudest form; and the contests failed to call out more than a feeble enthusiasm in the College at large. Now, at least four months before the date of the Class Races, we have four crews working daily for position in their respective boats, and each crew given an incentive to faithful training...
