...Memorial Hall does not furnish more material for effusions in the College papers than is at present utilized. To be sure, the Lampoon prints occasionally disgusting and exaggerated pictures of manners at the Dining Hall, the Advocate inquires once in a while if the omission of Veritas from the western window is intentionally sarcastic, and the Crimson inserts in its columns, when they are not very full, little essays on "Memorial Hall as a Match-box."

The splendid fellows sat up straight and sturdy after their glorious victory, and seemed as comfortable and unmoved as if just ready to start for a practice pull. Yale rowed to the western bank, and got out of their boat, and then were taken back to their quarters in their little steamer, their shell being towed astern. Harvard turned up stream, and pulled away home at a steady stroke...
