...along with marvellous strides in the last two years. Celebrations like that on the 17th of last June, and speeches like those of General Sherman and Fitzhugh Lee, have materially altered our feelings towards the South. The Nation's language was, therefore, the language of 1874, prompted by feeling rather than by reason, as it confesses. Now, in 1876, feeling as well as reason would sustain it in speaking otherwise...

Of nine other candidates, two were physically unable to take a place on the University crew, and one decided that he would rather study than row. As the notion of doing both did not strike him, he withdrew. This leaves only six men, including the present captain, Mr. Scudder; and as two of these are entirely unpractised in rowing, and as there is no chance of procuring substitutes in case of an accident...
