...races a year. Now Harvard is already saddled with two races for the coming summer and finds its hands full to keep its present engagements, and Yale seems to find enough to occupy all its attention to prepare for the race with us. For these reasons we think that the position taken by Pennsylvania is entirely unwarranted, and we need take no further notice of their claim, simply continuing in our old routine of races on the Thames...
There is one event included in the contests for the inter-collegiate cup to which we do not think the Athletic Association pays sufficient attention. We refer to the tug-of-war contest, which is passed over as of secondary importance by the officers of the association. As the sports will be exceedingly close this year, and every effort must be made to retain the emblem which we have held for so many years, it seems a good time for training more carefully than heretofore a team for this event.

Yet confidence in winning certain events should not lead us to think we have any certainty of getting the cup and that there is no need of training new men. There are several events, which we have sometimes won and sometimes lost during past years, some of which we must win next May in order to win the cup. Unfortunately our best...
...still, while we think that no one's motives ought to be impugned, it is an entirely imaginable case that the school may be unjustly interfering with the veterinary profession, if it takes away their cases by charging fifty per cent. less for its services than members of the profession must do to support themselves. there ought to be room for both. It would seem as if some plan ought to be devised, if the school is to be run as a school, by which competition with outsiders could be avoided. It is certainly no part of a school...
