...eagerness with which about one fourth of the Senior Class embraced the opportunity offered them to obtain instruction in elocution is worthy of notice, as it is a very good indication of the opinion of the student mind of the value of such instruction. The importance of elocution is gravely questioned by some educators, who claim - and reasonably so for the most part, it seems to us - that when one has anything to say, he will be able to say it, and most forcibly, in his own natural manner, and that therefore all artificial helps are useless...
...have good reason to believe that the Harvard Index, which first appeared last year, will be published about Christmas-time. The Index has a peculiar value to undergraduates, as it contains the names of the members of the various College societies, the records of the sea-son's doings in the field and on the river, and much other interesting information...

There was good rowing in all the boats, and very excellent steering, all which went to make the races decidedly successful and far superior to any class-crew racing we have ever had, though the unfortunate occurrence of a foul in the four-oared race must teach the coxswains greater care in future. That race should fairly have been rowed over again, between Holworthy and Holyoke; but the referee was unable to fix on a time, and so gave the decision...
