...case rests on even firmer ground than this. The Convention made no rule in regard to Freshman crews; so, even on the supposition that Freshman Clubs are subject to University Clubs, they would still be free to act just as they themselves saw fit. Does the Republican say that in the rule concerning the composition of " University or representative " crews, the word " representative " is applicable to Freshman crews? Then must it also maintain the absurdity that any " candidate for the degrees A. B., Ph. B., " &c. can row in a Freshman race...
...that races between University, and between College or department, Freshmen are both very good things. But if only one can be had, it is evidently a nice matter to decide which is the better. It appears as if a college might easily be excused for choosing either; but, having made its choice, can it escape blame if it brutally assails another college which with equally good right has made a different choice? The Harvard opinion is, that a Freshman race ought to be conducted on the same principle as heretofore. As long as this opinion is held by a majority...
...MORROW we lose from our midst the Class of 1873. A short rush for some flowers hanging on the old "Rebellion Tree," and their college life is practically over.

We wish them a brilliant Class Day and good luck in life...
...indispensable necessity to insure its success." The Courant naturally does not like this; and it states as a "fact" what is not a fact, that is, that "it was long after the crew was selected, and just after some Harvard men had seen them row, that objection was made." From the Freshman Captain we have received different information. No sooner had he learned what Yale proposed to do, than he protested against their course, and it was not till afterwards that the rowing of their crew was seen. Perhaps, had he seen them first, he might have been willing...
...friend Skiapous is not a man who courts publicity, but such is his nature that it is thrust upon him. "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." This is a remark which was on one occasion made by W. Shakespeare, who has since died. Some have playfully applied S.'s remark to our friend, saying that he belongs to the first and last of these classes. Those can understand the application of this best, who are acquainted with the reasons which led to his being named Skiapous...
