...suggestion offered in the Exonian as regards teaching the Exeter crews the proper method of rowing, has certainly much to commend it. The whole objection in the past to aiding the academy boating interests has been that the men there were liable to acquire a bad system of rowing, so that it would afterwards be harder to teach them the Harvard stroke than it would if they had known absolutely nothing about rowing. The Exonian, in mentioning a way for removing this objection, appeals indirectly to Harvard, and its plea deserves to be presented and considered. Three years...

"What an individual or what a community may best do for the superior education of this country is to create...
...previously given in the course. Labyrinthian in its construction, and delightfully startling in its cadences, it is instinct with the spirit of the dead master. Still it is impossible to get an adequate conception of Wagner's genius as a composer, by hearing simply a detached selection. On the whole, the concert, although hardly up to the standard of the last one, was one of the most enjoyable of the present course...
