...amateur clubs of Boston and vicinity which was expected, there is a fair prospect of our having two interesting races. The single-sculls will attract no little attention, and the Union and Harvard four-oars ought to make a good race. It is a matter of regret, however, that none of the associations challenged is willing to send a six-oared crew. The race which it was hoped would take place, May 25, between the six of the winning club and the amateur sixes, will be given up, therefore; but that is no reason for neglecting practice for the club...
...suppose it is our duty to say something about the Cornell comic paper, Cocague. Some of the illustrations are good, some are not good, and of the letterpress none is good.

This is the point to which we object; this is the point against which we propose...
...says, further, that we twisted his words from their meaning and misconceived his aim. This we endeavored to avoid, and we believe, as regards the general spirit of his remarks, with success. Those errors which we may have committed were generally due to the obscurity of his meaning. None of them vitiated our defence of true independence. For example, our error in quoting "Ossip" as calling not merely his imaginary independent man but every one who believes in complete independence "a disappointed aspirant for popularity," did not affect our subsequent arguments, which were not directed to prove the falsehood...
