...more difficult glees is rather too ambitious. The individual talent of the Club is not more than fair; the united efforts often seem strained and affected. To sing the songs of the Apollo or Boylston Club is indeed a laudable ambition, but to expect in so doing to meet entire success is presumptuous...
...latter course is undoubtedly the better for us, and probably the cheaper for both parties, so that we should be glad if Cornell could be brought to see its advantages; but if she persists in favoring Saratoga, we shall certainly not support our Freshman crew for refusing to meet her there. The challenge stated that "time and place" were "to be settled hereafter." If our crew were willing to row nowhere but at New London, they should have said so distinctly.

The offer of two really handsome and valuable cups, one for walking and one for running, would, we think, meet with immediate favor. Any one winning the cup should have his name engraved upon it, each time he won, and, after being won three successive times by the same man, it should become his private property. The distance in each case should be such as to equalize, as much as possible...
