Lastly, but not of least importance, are Harvard's athletic records for 1884-85. Harvard has won three championships, those in lacrosse, general athletics, and base-ball. Each of these has come to Harvard from Harvard's own merit, and not because of weakness of opponents. It would seem, too, that the very impetus which these victories must give to Harvard teams, ought to bring victory a fourth time to Cambridge. At least the Harvard man may be well assured that the Crimson will not experience disgrace on the water. It is not likely that any one of the three...
...class day when nearly a quarter of a millenium ago the first class of Harvard graduated and took their leave in a "sober and God-fearing fashion."

We believe that two of the advances in the condition of the college deserve special mention, namely, the establishment of better relations between the faculty and the students, and the general increase of literary activity...
...June 6th: "The Harvard DAILY CRIMSON has lately published an editorial speaking of a 'wail' or a 'howl' (we have mislaid the paper and the exact word escape us) which in its mind has arisen from its 'sister college in New Haven,' about the listlessness, over-confidence, and general demoralization of the Yale crew. And the CRIMSON warns the Harvard crew against putting any faith in such 'wails.' Moreover, the CRIMSON cites as an instance of such a wail's proving only a 'gag,' the articles which appeared in the Yale papers last fall about the foot-ball team, adding...
