...Saturday last the candidates for the University crew made their first appearance in the Gym. Of the thirteen who have gone into training only four are of last year's crew, and five are from the Freshman class; a fact which speaks encouragingly for the future, if not for the present..... Thus far the men have done a little more than half work, but they will gradually settle down to work of last year. To attempt any estimate of our prospective crew for '79 would be premature and a patent absurdity, and yet there are indications which, though not infallible...
...Navy Directors, in so far as they are connected with and dependent upon the students at large. have acted lately in a manner which is liable to criticism. Last fall the University was surprised to hear that we had challenged Harvard to a race next summer, and that a meeting had been called to ratify the challenge.

It is most splendid and thorough exercise, and far better for these men than plodding up to Fresh Pond or elsewhere at one uniform...
...direct me to a quiet house in Cambridge where I can pass my last two years at the Law School in peace? I don't want to go more than three miles away; I will not go where there is a musical instrument (masculine, feminine, or neuter), and the rules of the house must prohibit duns, pedlers, subscription agents, editors, and, in short, everybody. I don't think I exact too much; at least my instructors (to whom I refer) never thought me much too exact at recitations...
