...wanted to get away. And, thirdly, our men were unwilling to sacrifice their personal conveniences for the reasons given by Columbia, (which, by the way, are mentioned in Mr. Baylies' statement) which appeared contradictory and trivial. As to the agreement to row at half ebb tide, I think no such agreement existed, for, as you are well aware, there must be two parties to an agreement, and neither Captain Hammond or I knew anything about it. Moreover, I think, speaking of this agreement, whatever it was, that being verbal and off-hand, and no record of it being made, certain...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Courses have been given or are now given, I believe, in Historical German and in Scientific German. None, I think, are or have lately been given in what I may call Philological German - the German of the notes to the various classical texts in use in the college - and yet it is well known that the German one meets with in these books is a style of German by itself and difficult or impossible to acquire in any of the ordinary courses in German.

...unqualified pleasure and satisfaction in the changes that have been brought about in our athletics by the efforts of President Eliot and the faculty committee, as explained by the president of the H.

...HERALD last spring, and lately repeated by the Advocate and Crimson, that means be afforded by the boat club for the practice of rowing and the use of boats to others than those who are in regular training as members of some one of the crews, is, we think, well worthy of careful consideration. Rowing is certainly an exercise that many would gladly participate in if only an opportunity were offered; as it is now there is little if any chance for its practice among us. It is almost certain that no private enterprise will afford this chance; and therefore...
...entirely ceased at Harvard. The members of '86 assuredly have nothing to fear in this way. Why therefore, should any of their class feel incited to blast the peace of the greater part of one night by perambulating the college yard, uttering defiant cries of "86?" Did the freshmen think that '85 would be so inconsiderate as to interfere with their innocent pleasures? '85 and '86 I hope will always live on friendly terms. And yet '86 should remember that a certain amount of the old class feeling still lingers in the breasts of sophomores, although sternly repressed and never...
