...sake of pleasure alone, but more than that, to keep up the boating prestige of the College which they have chosen for their Alma Mater. The present Freshman Class is by far the largest which has ever entered at Harvard, and from all appearances ought to contribute largely toward the University Crew, besides having a good crew...
...with a long kick, and for the first few minutes the ball was kept dangerously near the Harvard goal; here a discussion of the rules took place, thereby delaying the game for some time.

However, one experience of this kind is quite sufficient, and we earnestly hope and pray that before the next regatta takes place, one shade, and only one, shall be selected and decided upon as Harvard's color. This could easily be done if set about in the right...
