...daily paper at Harvard begins the fourth year of its existence under somewhat more favorable circumstances than have hitherto fallen to its lot. Since the founding of the paper its life has been one continual struggle for that support which pride in all that belongs to Harvard should have prompted. During the year just passed, however, the college has improved in this respect and we can but ask to receive the same support, both literary and pecuniary, for another year. We shall endeavor to make the paper what it has ever attempted to be, a newspaper of college news, devoted...

The number of students was not then large, only about two hundred...
...offset any defects, there has been a greater excellence in many of the old performances. Three Harvard and one amateur record have been broken, and a much greater amount of attention and consequent skill have attention and consequent skill have attended the tugs-of-war. A healthy class pride has been awakened by these latter contests and the rivalry for the pennant. '85 has made a record of which she may be proud, having taken nine out of twenty-one prizes. The others were well divided among the remaining classes and the Law School. In succeeding years it is most...
