...glad to learn that the difficulties of the Senior Crew have been finally settled, and that the class will be represented in the spring races by a good eight. Six men who have had experience in the shell, including the captain, Mr. Cabot, of last year's University Crew, have finally consented to row, thus leaving but two places to be filled by new men. It is to be hoped that candidates for these two vacant places will not be wanting; there are plenty of men in the class who are able and should be willing to devote time...

...importance of thorough training of the students of our large colleges in economic branches cannot be overstated, and it will cause regret to many friends of Harvard to learn that in the rapid expansion and subdivision of studies which has taken place at that university since 1872, the ground covered in the department of political economy has remained practically unchanged. This is not as it should be, for Harvard, with the reputation which it has for originality and energy, should be the most active of all colleges in encouraging a comprehensive study of the vital topics...
