...Freshmen seem to have great difficulty in determining the best positions for their men to hold. During the past week they have hardly rowed in the same position two consecutive times. It is important for a man to become accustomed to his place before a race, that he may be perfectly at home in it. If the Freshmen fail to win the Beacon Cup, they should not be depressed; nor yet, vice versa, should victory make them too much elated; but in either case they should but work harder for greater glory at Springfield. Their crew is composed of good...
WERE dirty vituperation argument, the criticism upon Dr. Bartol's "Radical Problems" in the last Madisonensis would be very effective. It proposes to alter the title to "Lying Made Easy." It accuses him of good, square misrepresentations, or lies, and of lies oblique. The spirit of the article may be gathered from the comments upon garbled passages quoted from his work, many of which passages, by the by, strike us as particularly fine: "Too bad:"-" No; we hate lying."-"O blind man: O blind man:"-"Ah:"-"Here's richness! here's oiliness!"-"O, some of these Unitarian Radicals are noble...
...class election would be open to serious objections. A man's ability as a writer cannot be correctly judged from a few articles, which are all that the class have for the basis of their opinion.

Moreover, many articles which appear have been bolstered and physicked and amputated until almost entirely changed. In this case would the class be likely to choose wisely...
...inborn. It is not an easy part to assume, and all labor will be in vain unless there exist a priori some natural adaptation for it. One must learn to have perfect control of himself, his watchfulness must never relax; for one little word, one involuntary smile, may destroy a reputation which it has taken years to acquire. The world does not ask for truth, does not ask if a character be genuine; but it does ask that it be consistent with itself...
...Spring Scratch Races of the H. U. B. C. were rowed over the Boat House course, Saturday, May 17. The single scull race was easily won by W. F. Weld, Jr., '76, with D. C. Bacon, '76, a bad second. For the double race there were two entries: F. S. Watson and F. R. Appleton, and C. W. Wetmore and W. Hartwell, all of '75. Hartwell had the misfortune to break his rudder near the start, and the other men came in first with a very pretty stroke. The six-oar race was a very good one. Only two crews...
