...have before said, the Boat Club can stimulate a far more general interest in boating at Harvard if they will but place in the boat house a number of ordinary row boats for the use of men inexperienced in boating and encourage such men to join the club and use these boats on the Charles. Of course such measures would entail some discomforts and expense upon the clubs, but we think the renewed interest in boating and benefit to the students at large that would result would warrant the undertaking. From such a beginning as this a considerable school...
...first number of the Michigan Argonaut, rival of the Chronicle, has been issued. It bears a handsomely, illustrated cover after the modern style of magazine decoration. In general character its first number does not seem to differ materially from the Chronicle except perhaps in some matters of local tone not perceptible to an outsider. Still it must not be judged by its first number.

...question of the utmost importance in Harvard athletics must soon become prominent and demand a solution based on something more than temporary expediency. A fenced field on which foot-ball, base-ball, cricket, lacrosse and general athletic contests can be held, must be provided.

...general catalogue of Princeton College is issued. It is the first printed in six years and is under the editorial charge of Professor Cameron, who has succeeded Dr. Maclean as the college historian. No graduate of Princeton before 1812 is still living. Of the graduates between 1812 and 1820 forty-four are living. The total number of Princeton graduates is 5,439, and of these 3,000 are living. One fifth of the whole number have been clergymen, one-twelfth physicians and only one-eighteenth have entered public life. The mortality has been greatest among the politicians and least among...
...Harvard Athletic Association propose to adopt in a limited number of events in the coming fall athletic meeting, offers exceptional inducements for men desiring to compete yet fearing the overwhelming odds of defeat, to enter themselves for these events. If Harvard is to maintain her supremacy in general athletics for the future, it is certainly necessary, in view of the large athletic loss that the college sustained in the departure of the class of '82, that a large number of new entries be made this fall and next spring from the lower classes, and especially from '86. In the loss...
