...think that the tedious ceremonies of Commencement Day might well be divided. On one day the parts might be spoken; on another the degrees might be given out; while the graduates' dinner, etc., might take place on a third. The childish performances of Class Day - the dance about the tree and its companion follies - might well be abolished; and if the oration and poem were deemed worthy of perpetuation, they could be delivered either with the College parts, or on a separate occasion. On another day a concert in the Sanders Theatre would be an agreeable event. The various spreads...
...comes from Canada with fresh laurels. It is only necessary for us here to offer our congratulation; the story of their double triumph is told in another place. The accident to our captain at a time when he was making one of the most brilliant plays in the game takes away something from our pleasure at the achievements of the fifteen.

...start was nearly even, Holyoke being an instant behind the others in taking the water. The crews kept well together to the turning-stake, Weld showing a little ahead on the first half-mile, with Holyoke a little in advance of Matthews. When near the stake, Holyoke and Matthews, who were to turn the same buoy, spurted; Holyoke took Matthews' water and turned first, but with Matthews' bow only a few inches from their rudder. Matthews, however, made a very bad turn, and lost about three lengths. Weld had the outside stake to themselves, but also made a bad turn...
