...American love for novelty; draws a striking and original comparison between ourselves and the ancient Athenians; touches slightly but exhaustively on the development of Christian civilization, and then in a light and easy transition passes to intercollegiate regattas and Saratoga. We deeply regret it, but Mr. Dwight's graphic description of the race leads us to the reluctant conclusion that he had been there himself. He then gives a truthful description of the homeward progress of the victorious crew, referring but slightly to the esoteric or Yalensian interpretation of the Cornell slogan. After a sad account of various athletic achievements...
