...system of giving checks for hats and coats which has just been introduced at the Library is a much-needed improvement. It is a matter of regret that such a system should be needed, but if persons who visit the Library will insist on stealing hats and coats, it is better that something should be done to prevent them. Last Saturday afternoon some individual coolly walked off with two fifty-dollar overcoats; how he did it is a mystery, as he must have passed in full view of the attendant at the desk and all the persons in that part...
...crew of '77 and '78, having won three victories in two successive years, have decided to disband and make room for the younger rowing men in the University. While we regret as much as any one this action taken by the crew at a time when Harvard seems likely to lose its reputation for good rowing, we think it is more fitting to thank them for what they have achieved than to visit them with abuse and sarcasm. It is unfair to complain if men, who have devoted their energies during three years to the interests of boating, should...

The withdrawal of that challenge is a subject of regret; but we must confess that Cornell has availed herself of a poor pretext, if, as is currently reported, she has made use of our sporting column for that purpose. The position of the two colleges is this: if Oxford accepts Harvard's challenge, we must go abroad...
...surveyor, and is a fifth-mile measured about two inches from the pole. Perhaps it should have been measured farther out, and we shall take steps to settle this point at once, and if the measurement is wrong, it will be rectified in the early spring. We regret extremely that any such mistake, if mistake it prove to be, should have occurred, but men seem to forget that fast time cannot be made on any track unless they really train, and if there was a single man in last Saturday's races who had trained himself into the pink...
