...boat of which they expect wonders. But they only defeated Harvard by one boat's length the last time, and, when so much is at issue as there is at this coming race, they might well have postponed experiments. It is to be hoped that Harvard men will show more interest this year than they did last in the race that comes off on next Saturday at New London between their crew and one from Columbia. It is likely to be a pretty contest...
...popularity of the classics is again shown by the number of men who received second year and final honors in this department this year. An unusually large number of men were successful this time, which goes to show that the study of Greek and Latin is not losing its hold, as has been claimed by its opponents, but on the contrary is becoming more and more popular every year. The result of the recent investigations in Germany has again shown to the world that for training the mind the study of Greek and Latin has as yet found no equal...
...freshmen to get in to the tree exercises on class day, because of '82's restrictions, is arousing considerably more excitement and ill-feeling than was anticipated.

...hereafter. As a whole class would have to be excluded, it is only fair that the freshmen class should be, since they have more chances to take part in future exercises than any other class and fewer acquaintances among the seniors than either of the upper classes; but to show that the whole college is interested in freshmen athletics, '82 was willing to suffer the inconvenience the presence of the large crowd would occasion, if the freshmen were so successful as to win a game with Yale. The good effect, indeed, of this action of the senior class has already...
...pleasant fact to think of that no freshman class has ever lost the race with Columbia, but it lays a heavier responsibility upon the rowing men of the present class. Our freshmen did not show up remarkably well in the class races, but they will have enjoyed the benefit of seven weeks' extra training before they row again, and therefore will have a fine opportunity to show us their true strength in the race on the Harlem. They have trained with much perseverance long after the other class crews have relapsed into their ways of idleness and ease, and competent...
