...college chaps do in a whaleboat for a ten-mile pull in the teeth of a gale o' wind?" A few shop-keepers with unwonted enterprise have hung out the blue and white; fresh store of provisions is being laid in for thirsty souls, and hotel keepers look cheerfully forward to regatta week. But the majority of the people refuse to "enthuse" in the least over the young oarsmen, and it must be acknowledged that college boating men are no longer the popular heroes that they were in the palmy days of the great regattas at Saratoga.

...students is the Harvard Reading Room. Its success this year has been considerable, but not so great as could have been wished. Next year it is possible to greatly extend its usefulness and increase its advantages. This can be accomplished if but a larger number will come forward and become patrons of the institution.

It cannot by any means be said that the nine of the Yale freshmen is a weak one; its work thus far shows it is superior to those of many previous years.

Cool and careful work only will enable our nine to win Saturday, and certainly the importance of their winning then is fully appreciated by every member of the class...
...will not be supposed however, that this is by any means our chief aim. We share fully the belief of those who look forward confidently to a time when New York shall hold the literary primacy of our country, as indisputably as now the commercial. But this goal is not to be reached at once, nor without earnest, patient effort. Little by little centres of literary activity must be formed and their growth fostered...
