...strong tendency in men, when they have once passed the boundary, to forget that they ever were freshmen. The class of '85, it seems, is remarkable in more than one respect. Its scholarship is said to be above the average; its dignity appears to be likewise high, and its support of athletics is below the average. Doubtless the first trait is an estimable one, and as to the others, one can certainly be quoted discreditable, but the other, in my opinion, is somewhat doubtful. I don't agree with your views exactly in commending '85 for its quietness. While...
...gentle, studious, good little boys," to quote from our correspondent. If '85 is desirous of showing herself a manly class, and desirous of keeping up old college customs, let her show it by her enthusiasm on the base ball field, at her rowing contests, and in a hearty pecuniary support of her class interests, and not by actions that have been presented annually to the public by the city papers as a blot and disgrace to the fair name of Harvard...
...knew the Boston press to refrain so long a time - five months now - from venting its indignation on Harvard students. But while '85 deserves to be commended for the general quietness of its members, it needs a word of warning in regard to its athletic prospects, and the pecuniary support of its nine and crew.

We also advise every man in the class who can do anything at all in athletics, to enter...
...university crew this year. Speaking of Cornell's material for a freshman crew, the Era says: "They are a hardy set of men and will do the university credit if they are put in her boats. A healthy enthusiasm is being worked up among the freshmen, and the hearty support of several upper classmen, whose judgment in boating matters has considerable weight, is already assured. They have expressed themselves as favorable to the fitting out of a crew. And all the university are beginning to realize the disgrace which would follow the abandonment of the boating interests at such...
During the past week or two it has been widely circulated around college that the freshmen were not subscribing as liberally as they ought toward the support of their athletic interests. This rumor, it appears, has a good foundation. The manager of the freshman nine has seen every '85 man rooming in the college yard, excepting seventeen, and he has succeeded in getting just one half the amount necessary to run the nine well this year. He has been told by a number of men "to call again," but those persons should remember that there are over two hundred...
