...last few years to embellish Harvard University, both by private endowment and by co-operation among the classes which have graduated from the college. The Sanders Theatre, the Hemenway Gymnasium and the Memorial Hall, are all objects of interest to the visitor who is "doing" Cambridge. During the past summer an interesting feature has been added to Memorial Hall. The lack of interest in this shown by the public makes it evident that few are aware of the presence in this place of a very valuable and beautiful work of art. We speak of the memorial window erected by members...
...reported that Sergeant Kelley, who has been stationed at Fort Popham, Maine, has been removed from his position by the Secretary of War. Sergeant Kelley, it will be remembered, is the man who so cruelly shot down Frank A. Smith, '85, last summer while the latter was looking over the fort. Kelley has been taken to Portland to await trial on the charge of murder...
...universal opinion here that the University of Pennsylvania fellows are spoiling for a fight. The way the Magazine editors go off half-cocked is certainly amusing; but when they accuse us of being afraid to row them last summer then we "larf most immoderate."

As for rowing...

The examinations have been very satisfactory and the general grade of excellence such that the instructors have expressed approval of the students. The marks, which are preserved, are generally high...
...said to have done. But, again, we can take today's work only as a promise, by no means as a realization of '86's full strength. Fall meetings never allow that steady and regular training which is possible in the May meetings ; we have barely escaped the hot summer months, when even the most rigid athletes fall off in their exercise, and we have not enjoyed the long winter months spent in the gymnasium at the weights and on the track. Therefore we take occasion to warn any would-be competitor in the spring sports from discouragement...
