...Advocate will, in all probability, regard with silent contempt any suggestions made to it by so insignificant a person as a contributor to the Crimson. But I cannot refrain from closing my letter with the remark that a paper that desires to have any influence upon public opinion ought to endeavor to maintain some reputation for accuracy; and that if such a paper feels called upon to find fault with a body of men who are at least the social and intellectual equals of its editors, it will find that an exposition of its views, worded in a rational...
...race, although there were two stake-boats. In the four-oared race the rowing was only tolerable. The fact is that the whole system of conducting scratch-races is bad, and we can never hope for anything better until it is changed. The crews, by some plan or other, ought to be chosen at least a week before the race.

They are probably the best specimens...
...smallness of the student part of the audience, compared with what it ought to be, cannot be attributed to the incapacity of the professors, but rather to the laziness and ignorance of what was being lost on the part of the students; for often there were to be seen in the audience gray heads, who did not consider their time misspent, but listened with enthusiastic appreciation. One of our professors, who gave a course himself, when the programme was announced, advised his classes not to miss such an opportunity, and said that he should become a student again himself...
