...OUTING" FOR JULY. The advance sheets of the July number of this journal give promise of unusual interest to college men, and especially to all interested in the history of rowing at Harvard. The first sixteen pages of the magazine are devoted to an article upon the Harvard-Yale university races, and the races of the inter-collegiate rowing association. The article is elaborately illustrated, and contains a complete record of the races, from the victory of the Harvard crew in the old One ida over the Yale boat Halcyon, in 1852, up to our defeat by Yale...

I have known of cases in which men have come to Oxford with a fresh and sympathetic interest in language or history, and have sadly watched it gradually fading under the influences of the examination system, until, by the time their course has been finished, it has disappeared altogether, They have become like their companions, with the schools and the boats as the main topic of their conversation...
