...been kept in the very best of order. The number of entries and the character of the track lead one to expect not only well contested races but some very fast time. Every man to win will have to exert himself to the utmost; and, on a fine track, such exertions ought to succeed in lowering some of the records. The bicycle race also promises well, as more colleges than ever are to send men. As the present college record is by no means fast, this record will probably be lowered more than any other. Harvard, despite the losses...
...crew was 11 min., 44 sec., whild the seniors came in about four seconds later. The seniors, at times, rowed as many as 39 strokes to the minute, and never below 36.

The instructors in the classical departments do, to be sure, give readings from the ancient authors; and last year there was a very interesting course of lectures given by one of the instructors in philosophy. But beyond that, excepting the lectures connected with the gymnasium work, there has been nothing of the sort. Strangers are invited to speak or read before us, but of the home talent we have no advantage except by taking their courses...
