...start was pretty fair, and none tried too hard for the lead. Matthews rolled badly, and showed neither uniformity nor individual good rowing. None of the crews "sat" their boat well, but there was some very clean and precise rowing, for second crews, in the other three boats. The steering of the Holworthy and Weld coxswains was remarkably good, up the course especially, both crews leaving a perfectly straight path behind them, while the wakes of Matthews, and more particularly of Holyoke, showed by their many crooks the excitement and want of practice of the hands that held the tiller...
...elective courses in Latin proper, the first five are generally intended for Sophomores, and such Freshmen as anticipate the required Latin; the last five for Seniors, Juniors, and such Sophomores as have taken some elective course in Latin during their course hitherto. This is not a hard and fast rule; but the cases of variance from it should be rare. Courses 1 and 2, which are virtually different divisions of the same course, correspond to the Latin course which was originally required of all Sophomores, and which has rarely if ever been intermitted.

It is proposed to read the first two books of this treatise; the first an exposition of Epicurus's ethics, the second an attack upon them.

...marked improvement within the week than Holyoke. The place of Mr. Wetherbee is well supplied by Mr. Mudge of the Medical School, but their misfortunes have been too many and too severe to leave the crew much hope of winning the race. The captain of the club has worked hard, and not unsuccessfully, to bring up the crew; it seems to us, however, that on the beginning of his stroke he gets more of a lift than the crew can carry through...
...balls over the heads of both striker and catcher, and then of letting the third one come swiftly towards the striker, and dropping when near the base. Geer played well on second. Duff did the heavy batting and seemed at home on third. During the game Hooper struck hard for centre field, where it was dropped by McKelney, but very neatly caught by Tipper before reaching the ground. The score will give all further particulars...
