...vain for a course in Chinese and for some other desired courses; but an excellent beginning has been made, and criticism at this stage would be unjust. For the present, many of the courses will be taken by undergraduates chiefly, for hardly enough graduates remain here fully to support the department. How this will be in the future cannot now be foretold; but certainly the organization of this department is a sign of the approaching time when required work can be done away with, and Harvard become more like a German university...

...finest pitchers in the country; in this game, moreover, the Nine made but three errors. During the past week the new men have filled their positions with credit, and the veterans have maintained their well-earned reputations of last year. It is to be hoped that a better support will be given to the Nine this spring, especially when games are played in Boston and the vicinity, as it is very disheartening for men to train and spend their entire vacation in Cambridge for the glory of the College, and then feel that their self-denial and services...

The challenge stated that "time and place" were "to be settled hereafter." If our crew were willing to row nowhere but at New London, they should have said so distinctly. Our advice to them now is, to row under the best conditions they...

...scull race has been made by the Newton Boat-Club, but this organization regrets that it cannot take part in the race on May 25. No reply has been received from the Jamaica Plain Club. Although the project of a combination regatta has not met with the encouragement and support from the amateur clubs of Boston and vicinity which was expected, there is a fair prospect of our having two interesting races. The single-sculls will attract no little attention, and the Union and Harvard four-oars ought to make a good race. It is a matter of regret, however...
