...University Crew appeared last summer with one shade of crimson and the Eleven with another; while at Saratoga colors which were worn by the students and their friends, and called crimson, embraced all the different shades of red from bright scarlet to maroon. This diversity of shades was remarked by every one, and in consequence the universal and unanswerable cry was, "What is the true color of Harvard?" After this question had been inflicted upon us a few hundred times we began to look with admiration upon the peculiar advantages derived from a change of magenta to crimson...

Under the impression that we have three men of the last crew who will pull next summer, he says that "instead of again putting off most of the coaching also till the winter is over, it ought to be done now.

But the pupils at Penikese come from a poorly paid class. However grateful for the privilege of studying at a seaside school of natural history, very few among them...
...summer school limited to a few of the best students in Natural History, connected with the College, will probably be established next year (1876); but I doubt that a school of the present scope of Penikese can be run, unless very largely endowed. The Trustees are already too far in debt to feel that they can go on with it, as matters now stand...
