...action of the faculty in establishing a new course in French (V.) is, we think, to be highly commended. There are many students in college who are unable or unwilling to give the amount of time required by any of the other French courses, and who do not wish to attempt to acquire a thorough knowledge of the language at Harvard, but rather choose to defer its completer acquisition to a later time. But many of these find it necessary in their other courses to obtain a working knowledge of French and ability to translate ordinary passages at sight...
...Boat Club, but mainly to two things: The launch and the long stay at New London. The launch has been thoroughly overhauled and has cost by that and the running expenses over $1,100.00. An enormous amount, and if the results of the repairs could have been foreseen, I think, an unwarrantable extravagance. The launch has had a fair trial, has been put in order, well kept and carefully run, and the result is, that it is not a success. It has proved very unreliable, sometimes being out of use for several days at a time. I mention this...
...presence of the students, who immediately after the term closed went in crowds to the boathouse, has done some very creditable work. The coaching has been done by Mr. G. R. Rives, J. T. Goodwin, and A. H. Van Sinderen. While we are not over confident we nevertheless think that Columbia will make a good showing, and that if we do not win Harvard will be made to pull a hard race...
Harvard has lost all chance for the championship. After presenting one game to Dartmouth and another to Princeton on her own grounds, she has capped the climax by giving to her greatest rival about the last game she had at her disposal. The more we think of the game the more we are perplexed. The game was lost by the wildness of our pitcher and by one very bad error which alone marred the otherwise splendid record of the man who made it. A base on balls and a wild throw lost a game which had been...
Such a publication as we have but very imperfectly sketched would, we think, be interesting not only to students, but to graduates. Indeed, there is now a large body of college graduates whose interest in college life has not died out, but who have not the interest to read a college paper containing little else than athletic notes and local hits. By these we think an inter-collegiate monthly would be welcomed as much as by the large majority of students. The college journalism is not enjoyed by the mass of the students. Would not an intercollegiate publication do much...
