...function of host is a difficult one at best, especially to students who have had but little practice. It would be wise, therefore, to make the burden of entertainment as light as possible by bringing the exercises into the latter half of the day. This change would cause the good things of the day to occur in such rapid succession that no visitor would have time to grow weary. Furthermore, ladies do not like to prepare their toilets at sunrise; if they do dress then, they will no doubt become so jaded during the day as to seriously affect their...
ABOUT once a week some exchange editor finds it his duty to read the editors of certain college papers a lecture on the amount of space they devote to athletics. Now is it not as likely that the editors are just as good judges of what their readers want as are exchange editors of other papers? As for us, we have a library at Harvard where the students can have access to very much better articles on historical, philosophical, and scientific subjects than we could furnish, and the instructors in themes and forensics have kindly relieved us of the necessity...
YALE'S claim to the foot-ball championship is disputed, and with good reason, by Princeton. Says the Princetonian: "This fall, we have beaten Harvard and Columbia, and played a drawn game with Yale.

...going on at the boat-house. The rowing-machines are first used by the Freshmen. Captain North has two eights in training. His men row six or seven hundred strokes daily, and run about two miles. Several of the Freshmen are well built for rowing, and promise to make good men for the University; and the candidates are, as a whole, equal to the average Freshmen crew. Messrs. Schwartz and Crocker of last year's 'Varsity are coaching them with marked success. Mr. Schwartz in particular gives surprising evidence of a decided talent for coaching, the benefit of which...
Immediately after the Freshmen the 'Varsity take possession of the machines. Captain Bancroft has set Captain North the example of having two eights at work. By keeping so many men in training, an opportunity for regular exercise is given to those who desire it, and a sufficient supply of good oarsmen is insured to form a crew, should one be desired, which can pull with the 'Varsity. There is no regular coach for the men now; Mr. Bancroft himself gives to their work the necessary oversight. They are doing a steady, moderate amount of work, which will, of course...
