...reflecting man would pronounce at once that such a state of opinion ought not to exist in "the foremost college in America." He would question whether the working man does not, after all, get the best of Harvard culture, and whether the "grind," discountenancing, of course, a too persistent and unhealthy devotion to study, is not, on the whole, more worthy of admiration and respect than the "swell."

It is a pity so few of our single-scullers are willing to enter a race. The water was very good for this season of the year, and not so rough as to hinder the club barges. Mr. R. C. Watson, '69, acted as starter; Mr. W. F. Weld, '76, as referee...
