YESTERDAY being Washington's Birthday, the event was celebrated by examinations in the morning and afternoon. We have always objected to this day being passed over in silence by Harvard College, and it is probably owing to our former remonstrances that the Faculty have chosen this neat and inexpensive manner of celebrating an event to which we all look back with pleasure. We have always been taught to emulate the Father of his Country, and an especially good opportunity to do so was given yesterday. As he was in the habit of cutting apple-trees, we might have cut examinations...

I do not hesitate to brand such trash with the name of buncombe, and I earnestly beg Harvard's aquatic chiefs not to be beguiled by like nonsense. There is but one good...
...owes a large debt of gratitude, it has been put on a basis where there is a chance for it to do something. The success of their new effort rests largely with the undergraduates not members of the club. If a sufficient number of them become subscribers in the manner proposed, they will unquestionably advance their own interests and raise the club from its former anomalous position to a place of practical usefulness...
