...upper classes would not care so much to prepare for an outside race as for a class race, for if they did, they would have upper class outside races; and therefore if Freshmen care more for an outside race, they only do so because they are unused to College ways, and do not understand the full value of class racing...
...more renown by winning the class race than by their victory over Columbia?" If an '83 man were to answer, he might say, "No, we did not;" but the spectators of any actions are the ones to judge in which most renown was gained, and the general opinion among upper class men is that '83 gained most by winning the class races.

What the entire scheme is, is not yet known, and it is possible that no changes will be made as regards the privileges of the two upper classes; but it has been decided definitely, as we understand, to give Sophomores voluntary recitations. We believe that this is a step in the right direction, and that it is a proper successor to the many advances which Harvard has made during the past ten years. It is a matter...
