...Regatta Committee reported a long list of promises for the fulfilment of which the Saratoga Rowing Association had given bonds, which would seem to embrace everything that could be desired. The finish is to be off Ramsdell's Point, so that the start will be on the west side of Snake Hill, in order that more people can see the race and that there shall be no danger of beaching on Ramsdell's Point. The positions of the crews are, numbering from the west shore: 1, Williams; 2, Cornell; 3, Amherst; 4, Bowdoin; 5, Brown; 6, Columbia; 7, Wesleyan...
...then, can we not have a course of lectures to supply this want? Something of the kind seems to be almost a necessary supplement of the elective system; and it appears that formerly some attempt was made to supply it.

It would not seem very difficult to have a larger variety at each meal, and there are some additions that might be made, such as more salt-cellars, water-pitchers, and bread-plates, that would greatly increase the comfort of the meals; this, however, would require more capital. Let us hope that the money to be raised...
...many it may seem unwise to so split up our time between study, exercise, literary work, theatres, concerts, our societies, reading, singing, and the like, that, through the very multiplicity of our pursuits, no one of them receives the attention it deserves. Perhaps it is; yet just as we furnish a college room with many more things than any sensible person would think of putting in any room in a private house, so may we not profitably engage in many more pursuits in college than we can when we enter upon our life-work? This very breadth of range...
