...started. The first class boats were sent off a minute before the second class, at 10.56. There was a very light breeze blowing, and for a long time the conoes did not move perceptibly, but finally Rand began to forge ahead, with Dunham close behind. By good luck in catching puffs, Rand managed to get a good lead, and went the rounds twice before the others had completed their first circuit. His time for the three miles was 1 hour 50 minutes. In the meantime Proctor and Dupham made a close and very interesting race for second place. Abbot soon...
...thing which Harvard seemed reasonably sure of winning, that one thing was the intercollegiate tennis tournament. To be defeated in that is disappointing, but doubly so when we realize that it is the old story over again, "defeated by Yale." To be sure our representatives had very hard luck. The accident which happened to one of our players was unavoidable and might well be termed a good example of Harvard luck.

To term, however, an honest expression of opinion egotistical, and an opinion, which facts prove was perfectly true, sounds very much like a childish complaint. Can the defeats...
...gaining at length the much-coveted championship. We go over this matter briefly in order that the case may be clear to every one. Now, every student knows that with a good hearty backing the nine will play a far better game than if they merely receive the luck-warm applause of comparatively a few men. Nothing is more inspiring to a team than vigorous cheering from their friends, and nothing will better show our appreciation of the nine's work...
