...Yale News invidiously remarks that "such an evidence of a disposition on the part of the faculty to throw no unnecessary obstacles in the way of the college athletics is in marked contrast with the recent action of some other colleges." We feel sure that our esteemed contemporary is somewhat hasty in its generalizations. The faculties of few colleges would refuse such a reasonable request. Certainly Harvard's would not be guilty of so illiberal a policy...
...improvement during the next two weeks, as they have not yet been able to settle down to work with eight regular men, and the former have been rowing in a cranky shell. The juniors have been quietly confident of the race until Saturday, when the freshmen opened their eyes somewhat. Whether or not the latter can keep their spurt up for two miles, remains to be seen.

The gallant M. P. does not tell whether the proctor held his office after...
...felt from this policy, but any immediate increase of the influx of students to Harvard from these cities and the adjoining country is not to be expected. The adoption of the same plan by Yale, and more lately by some of the smaller New England colleges, has naturally acted somewhat as a check upon such a result. But the advertisement, the legitimate advertisement, for the university that follows upon this plan is a matter of no small account. As the Western States grow in wealth and in opportunities for higher education within their own borders, it will be but natural...
