...line, Harvard will be as well, if not better, represented in the journalistic field than any college in the country. The Crimson is certainly to be congratulated upon its undertaking, for if there is any thing which shows life and ability, especially in journalism, it is the attempt to push into new fields, even at the risk of attacking others...

...Hillsdale" stroke. Swing there is none, and all that is aimed at is a fast stroke. The men vary but little from the perpendicular either at the beginning or end of the stroke, and the sole means of propulsion employed are the legs and arms. The former to push the slide back and the latter to finish the stroke by pulling the oar home. There is a very general aptitude throughout the boat, however, to resort too soon to the use of the arms and do bent arm work, but that is little else than natural with such a style...

We have always noticed that a well-organized and victorious crew owes its success invariably to the energy, push, alertness, self-sacrifice and denial of its captain. Let the captain of our crew display more of these traits and we will prophesy renewed enthusiasm among its members, a hearty support by the class, and finally and paramount in importance, a successful and victorious race on the Harlem, July...

...will deny that there is intemperance in college. But there is no more than elsewhere, rather less. In any college town, there is less intemperance among the students than among the townsmen in proportion to numbers. In the words of an esteemed contemporary: "Just think of this a moment; push it to the ultimate, and I think you will have no difficulty in seeing it." "It is a curious fact," however, that men don't seem to see it. Let a student make a jolly night of it, and on his way home levy a loan on a signboard...
