...Oxford Magazine, of which five numbers have already appeared, we at last recognize the model college publication. Uniting in its management members of both graduate and undergraduate departments and admitting to the privileges of its columns students as well as professors, it fills a place in college journalism that is occupied by no publication in this country. The only attempt at journalism at all similar, the Harvard Register, failed because it could not be said to represent the undergraduate or the instructor.

...this fact, added to their superior weight, gave their backers considerable encouragement. The Oxford crew found difficulty in getting a stroke, as Sharpe and Curry seemed to be equally good oarsmen. Finally, however, Curry obtained the position, which he retained but a week, as he had to give place to L. R. West, the veteran Oxford stroke, who rowed in the '81 race.

They are not, as at Yale, mere class affairs, nor, as at Harvard, secret orders, but are institutions of profound importance to the individual in his college career and to the customs of the student community. The great question of the student's first year here is "what fraternity shall...
