...necessary that the Boat Club will be run this year as prudently, wisely, and economically as is possible. As to the question of blazers for the crew, which apparently gave rise to the discussion of this subject, I think that all Harvard men ought to have some little pride in the appearance of their representative crew. There is every bit as much reason in the crew having a costume peculiar to itself, as in the nine, or foot-ball team, or lacrosse team, having such a uniform. It has been customary for years to provide such a uniform here...
...former years are at hand and can be of some use in making an estimate. If it were only the custom for the college to demand, and the treasurer to furnish such an estimate each year, there would doubtless result much benefit to our purses. The treasurers would take pride in keeping as near the estimates as possible, and the college would see to it that the estimates did not provide for any unnecessary expenditures, in short, that the subscriptions to the crew were handled in a thoroughly businesslike...

If we cannot keep the field of sports against all comers or carry the pennant victoriously down the river, let us, by all that we esteem worthy, exhibit an interest...
...will, we believe, if successful, place the club on a firm footing, and give an additional impetus to the study of elocution at Harvard. Now that a public performance has been decided upon, the entire college will feel an interest in the progress of the play, and take great pride in its success. The participants, in turn, must regard themselves as the representatives of the dramatic talent at Harvard, and recognize the full responsibility resting upon them. Under the able instruction of Mr. Jones, with the assistance of Prof. Child in regard to the text, and of some...
