...individual faults of eight men in eight days. While he attempts to do so, each man contracts new faults, the time becomes poor, the crew soon begins to feel from the motion of the boat that its rowing is ragged and by no means up to the mark, nervousness sets in, and the consequence of all this is that on the very eve of the race the crew is totally "demoralized." These facts are mentioned not for the purpose of accounting or apologizing for '85's defeat, but that '86, in whose success the whole university is interested, may profit...

At no other time certainly has it met with a more flattering reception from the outside world nor with more universal approval from its readers in college. The success of the Lampoon has always been a matter of common pride with all Harvard men, and to its support heretofore they have always shown themselves ready to contribute whenever such support has been asked of them. It therefore seems like a sad commentary upon...
