...creditable crew on the river, but at present the prospect seems, to say the least, doubtful. The old stroke, who has served the class so faithfully in three races, will be unable to row this year on account of ill health, and his loss is a serious calamity to the crew. In addition to this, several other men who have sat in the boat in previous years refuse to row again for reasons best known to themselves; and altogether the outlook is decidedly dark. Under these circumstances it is the clear duty of every man in the class...
...collegiate regattas comes the question whether Harvard shall or shall not participate. There are a few among us who favor the plan of training up a four-oared crew, but it seems as if this project, abandoned six years ago as no longer practicable, can hardly be worthy of serious consideration at the present time, when, in addition to the reasons which existed six years ago, we have another crew, and one which requires the best of our oarsmen and the greater share of our attention...
Again, the item of expense becomes a serious one in these days of elaborate preparations and costly training for the Yale race. As we could not think of impairing our chances by rowing in any of the old condemned four-oars now in the boat-house, we would need a new boat at the cost of something like four hundred dollars.

...springing up within and in the vicinity of Boston. That so many colleges, professedly rivals of Harvard, have been founded so recently almost at her doorsteps, must indicate some wide-spread dissatisfaction with the spirit and aims of this university. That there are really objections, however, that are serious and deserving of great concern, I do not believe. Harvard's growth and progress has perhaps been too rapid. These institutions represent a reaction. Cosmopolitanism and non-sectarianism are naturally distasteful to the provincial and sectarian. But it may be that Tufts College and the Boston University do not attempt...
...auditor's report, it must be confessed, is disappointing. The blunder, by which we were beguiled into the happy delusion that the board of last month was only $4.25, certainly does not redound to the steward's credit. Nevertheless, there is nothing in it to cause any serious mistrust of the management of the hall in general. The association is certainly fulfilling the purposes of its establishment, and, to speak relatively, giving general satisfaction as far as relates to quality and price, in spite of this revelation. A natural result of this unfortunate mistake is very likely to be renewed...
