...literary magazine in college can be a success, the Nassau (Princeton) must claim the palm. We confess it is the only publication of the sort which we can read with interest; although, doubtless, the magazine form has many advantages. Princeton is still very bitter toward Yale on the championship question; the Princetonian accumulates quotations to prove the consistency of her position. The Acta Columbiana cheers for Yale, and one by one the colleges come into line on one side or the other; all of which is doubtless calculated to preserve good feeling. The Acta calls, for April 15, a meeting...
...matter of great regret that so little apparent interest is taken in the fitting up of the so called Meeting Rooms of the Hemenway Gymnasium. The flags which the Crews have won, to be sure, and the trophies of the Nines for several years back are there, and are a constant source of pride and satisfaction to us all. But this interest could not fail to be greatly increased if, in addition to the trophies themselves, the faces of those who won them for us also adorned the walls. Of late years the custom of photographing all the teams which...
NOTHING makes the University more interesting to graduates who come back here after several years' absence than the preservation of athletic trophies and records. Any one who has visited the English universities, and seen the tablets and flags with the names of crews for many years past, will remember with what interest he saw on the long roll of oarsmen men who afterwards became famous in almost every walk of life. Harvard, in this respect, is sadly lacking, one reason being that our athletic prominence extends no farther back than half a generation; but it is necessary to make...
...Honors a possibility. Honors in Modern Languages are based mainly on French and German. But there are no motives to urge men to a careful study of English, except the excellence of the instruction given, or love for the subject. Is our literature, then, so deficient in value and interest? Is the ability to write - not Greek, but English - of so little importance? Students of Saxon and Old English meet with scant encouragement. Honorable Mention is a meagre reward for faithful work in seven English courses. It is but a vague term, at best; and certainly the addition, English, does...
...management on this particular course peculiarly arduous as well as expensive. I wish, too, that I had the power to make the undergraduates of both colleges realize more clearly the necessity of having a solid financial basis for the good management of their annual boat race. The "transportation interest" supplies this basis at New London, the "hotel interest" supplies it at Saratoga; and there are absolutely no other places in America where either interest is strong enough to find any pecuniary advantage in guaranteeing proper management for such an exceedingly costly affair as the annual Harvard-Yale race...
