...occasion of one of those reckless displays of heroism which will some day immortalize our College fire department. The cheers with which the assembled crowd rewarded the prompt appearance of the "engine," and its approach to the very edge of the conflagration, were only equalled in heartiness by the interest manifested in the chief engineer's skilful disposal of the department, and his clever manipulation of the water-pail...

It therefore urges that Michigan be represented in the next regatta, and suggests as a place of practice a lake of "nearly the same size as Fresh Pond, Harvard's place of practice." O Chronicle! know'st thou not that Cambridge is situate upon the mighty...
