...there's no use in denying it, we are cliquish; even Doggy can't prove the contrary, though he says there's no reason why Quiet, whom no one ever notices, should n't enjoy college; and we have a great many cliques, and very narrow ones. In each class there are one or two swell cliques, devoted to lawn-tennis and clothes; an athletic set, who spend hours in exercise of various sorts, and the rest of their time in feeling each other's muscles, and reading the "Spirit of the Times"; a studious crowd, to which...
...eight as the champion college crew of America, neither does he wish the English colleges to look upon us as champions. Cornell now holds the championship, though her present crew is by no means identical with the crew that won in 1876. On the other hand Harvard has good reason to believe that her crew of 1878 would make a good race with any college eight that can be got together and trained before next summer.

We hope they will feel the College expects more from them, and we shall all look for them carefully in the next meetings. The Freshmen have reason to be satisfied with themselves, and we with them, being the winners in six events out of ten. They appear to be an athletic class, and from some of them we shall expect good records...
...just been arranged at Yale by the Linonia Society, the first lecture having already been delivered by Professor Sumner. At Yale, too, they complain of the want of just such a hall as we have here, so that, with our superior advantages in this respect, there is no reason why we should not be able to get up as good a course of lectures. The chief difficulty, we know, is to get somebody to take hold of the matter, and we would suggest that some society, with the co-operation perhaps of one of the professors, follow the good example...
