...advocate the sending of a crew to such a regatta - oh, no; but it sounds ill, you see, to speak as though Harvard desires to enter no contest where her large numbers are not sure of giving her security against defeat. If our real rowing ability is on a par with that of the other colleges, our large numbers ought to secure a correspondingly large share of the victories.

The offer of "honors" to special students is also a new feature in the same general line as those just mentioned...

From the supreme indifference and inexcusable laziness of '85 we had come to regard that class as on a par with our lamented '82, which has been put down by many as the worst class Columbia has ever...
