...have once acted greatly," says George Eliot, "seems a reason why we should always be noble." Harvard's successes last June at Springfield and Hartford make it incumbent on those in whose hands are placed our boating and ball interests for the coming year to see that the laurels so nobly won are as nobly retained. It is our good fortune that the captains of both crew and nine remain at their old posts during the coming season, for they are both men who will not rely on the prestige of former successes to win future victories...
WHEN, in term-time, a comparatively few students go down to New Haven to see a ball-match, excursion rates are arranged and the party go for nearly half fare; but when several car-loads of Harvard students go to the Regatta at Springfield, full fare both ways is charged.

In regard to the merits of the three crews, it was generally considered that Yale's form was the best, but Harvard's muscle much superior to that of either of her opponents; while Columbia excelled only in pluck. Before the Yale race came off, however, Harvard made rapid improvement, and at the time...
