BEFORE long '84 will, in all probability, receive a challenge from Columbia to row a race in Freshman eights. In view of this, we wish to show '84 that Freshman racing outside of the College is advantageous neither to the College at large, the University Crew, nor the class itself. In the first place, we must say, that because '83 Harvard defeated '83 Columbia, there is no reason why '84 Columbia should feel bound to challenge our Freshmen; nor need our Freshmen feel bound to accept if they do receive a challenge. '84 was practically no part of either college...
...wish to spread their wings, and that can be done in the class races, as '83 has shown; and there they may really gain more renown than by winning a race outside of College. As we have shown that there are no reasons for an outside race, we will show what there is against one: At Yale the inexpediency of Freshman races outside of the college is recognized, so that it is impossible for our Freshmen to row them; and if they win a race with any other college it produces little effect in the world outside of college that...
...class races, as said before, will train men for the 'Varsity of the succeeding year; and if any man is good enough to row on the 'Varsity in his first year, his rowing in the class races will show it as well as six weeks' more work would; even if it did not, no man ought to be put into the 'Varsity much later than the class races, as it would take some time for him to get in with the 'Varsity men's work. Last year, after the class races, the Captain of the 'Varsity wished...

In the debates there is one danger that needs to be avoided, if possible : that is, the tendency to stray from the question under discussion to mere refutations of perhaps very insignificant points. It might be advisable, in order to keep the subject constantly in mind, to have it written plainly on the blackboard behind the chairman's desk. The subject for the next debate...
...uncle's ranch in Kansas. One evening, about seven o'clock, a gentleman stopped at the house inquired for uncle, and asked him whether he could accommodate him for the night, and in the morning give him a horse to ride and a guide to show him the way to Fairfield, a village about sixty miles distant, as very important business demanded his presence there. Uncle consented to do as he wished, and asked me to act as guide. Upon closer examination I found the stranger to be my old friend Buttons, who had risen from the low station...
