...clear as this to an argument in favor of moderate drinking is argumentative hypocrisy. We speak plainly, because we feel that Dr. Peabody has been grossly insulted by his opponents; one of them going so far as to declare him "a corrupter of morals and unfit for his place." These are groundless accusations, and their groundlessness was evident even to the accuser. In other words, Dr. Miner and his friends have been guilty of the basest perversion of facts and the most unwarrantable insolence to Dr. Peabody. The students of Harvard College are justly indignant at this cowardly attack upon...
...injurious, for success begets over-confidence and from this spring a score of evils. In other words, the Freshman crew needs to redouble its efforts between now and the 5th of July. As soon as their opponents learn whom they are to meet, they will leave nothing untried to place themselves on an equal footing. While congratulating our Freshmen on their victory, we hope that it will not turn their heads, and thus cause them to lose the race with Columbia...
...result of the first game with Yale is, to say the least, discouraging; but we must remember that Yale has an exceptionally good nine this year, and that at Harvard but little care has been taken to train men to fill the places of those who during the past years have done so much towards the honor of the College. Our Nine, however, are deserving of praise for the steady game which they played throughout. In spite of the fact that the score stood at one time seventeen to nothing, the Nine did not commit the fatal blunder of losing...
...started, but fell out at the end of the first lap. In putting the shot, Messrs. Denniston, Baxter, and Kip appeared, the latter, however, proving the winner with a throw of 31 ft. 3 in., 2 ft. 5 in. below Curger's put of last spring. Baxter took second place with 31 ft., while Denniston did not succeed in covering more than 26 ft. 11 in. E. K. Butler, Jr., had a walk over in the 100-yards dash, and although running very well for the first fifty yards, lost his form toward the end and finished...
...Mueller and E. W. Brewer were distanced. In the second heat, R. Sturgis was an easy winner, with J. K. Swinburne second, and C. M. Hemenway third. The final was won by Elliott in 56 7/8 seconds, after a very pretty race, Foster and Sturgis almost tying for second place; it was given, however, to the latter. Swinburne was about 5 yards in the rear. The running high jump brought out Sturgis again and J. L. Paine, the former clearing 5 ft. 1/2 in., and then stopping, on Paine's failure to accomplish the same. The 100-yards dash...
