FROM what we can learn of the class of '85 at Yale, men may be there obtained for her crew who will be almost as valuable as those who have left. Yale, though she has suffered a heavy loss, will, no doubt, prove a worthy antagonist, and can only be beaten, if she be beaten at all, by earnest work on our part. For this reason it seems to us that our tone should be one of mingled hope and determination, with no feeling of confidence that the result next year must be favorable...
FROM the remarks made by Captain Hammond at the Boat Club meeting we understand that very few of last year's University Crew intend to continue rowing. We regret to learn this, as our chances of victory, which seemed so good after the race last July, are now in precisely the same position as in the fall of '80. It is the duty of every man who is in any way fit for the University, and who is not prevented from rowing by some insuperable obstacle, to begin training at once and thus to aid our captain in the formation...
...with extreme regret that we learn that one of the instructors in Latin held recitations in two electives during the recent Honor Examinations, His reason for so doing was, doubtless, his desire that those members of the courses who were not taking the examinations might enjoy the benefit of the recitation. It would seem, however, on a little reflection, that the inconvenience and annoyance to which the majority of the men were subjected in having to make up an omitted recitation immediately after a continuous six hours of examination in the same subject would more than compensate for the advantage...
...glad to learn that the Athletic Association has decided to have the finish line, in our Spring Sports on May 19, at diagonally the opposite corner of the track from the present finish line. By this means, although it will not be as convenient for the spectators, the validity of the records made will be unquestioned; and we shall hope to see more than one of the best-on-record medals (which have been offered for any Harvard athlete who breaks a best American college record) claimed on that day. In connection with the sports, we cannot refrain from expressing...
...languages and various departments of science, but none in that most fascinating and grandest of all sciences, Astronomy. A man may get a little Astronomy in Phys. I, and something of the mathematics of the subject in Math. I, but this is very unsatisfactory, - as if we could learn Geology only by supplementing Chem. 2 with a course of applied excavation at the Bussey Institution. These courses together amount to some five hours a week, of which not one-half is given to Astronomy; so that a student's devotion must be great to impel him to pursue science under...
