...gratifying to Harvard. Although the charge that the Harvard crew, after defeating the Yale crew in such a fast race, was afraid to row Columba, last year, was a preposterous one, still we fear that there were many men from the New York college whose hopes so warped their judgment that they almost believed it. Such men will be relieved by the race just rowed. They will no longer be troubled by perplexing guesses at "what might have been." Of course our defeat this year would not have been an acknowledgement of fear last year, but, luckily, victory makes...
...test of a student's attainments. There are instances in which ill health, mobility to pursue a continuous course or other unavoidable circumstances prevent a student of genuine merit from reaching the required standard of excellence; and she is consequently, through no fault of her own, placed, in the judgment of outsiders, upon a level with the incompetent and the lazy - a fact which may seriously interfere with her future success in gaining desirable work...

Few men can bat with confidence and steadiness unless they have had practice against the best pitching - that of professionals. When our faculty made the anti-professional rules, they had reason to believe that Princeton and other colleges would do likewise...
...spring meeting of the Athletic Association was held on Saturday last. The event had been looked forward to with quite a degree of interest, on account of its affording some ground for judgment as to our prospects at the Polo Grounds next Saturday. It was unfortunate that the date conflicted with that set for the Harvard-Yale freshman game, as the attention of the spectators could not be given to both at the same time. However, as can be seen from the reports, the games may be said to have been very successful. The presence of a trainer...
