...Harvard has been so much discussed that the President has been to some trouble to get at an accurate statement of college expenses. As the result of a large number of inquiries, he found that the smallest annual expenditure was $471, and the largest $2,500. Since this wide range of expenditure gave insufficient data from which to make fair estimates, the President has prepared a table to exhibit four scales of annual expenditure. This table is restricted to the nine months of college life, and is, we think, a very fair estimate of college expenses...
...evident that the principal reasons for not having a Field Meeting this autumn, are, first, the wretched condition of Jarvis, and, secondly, the inconvenience of Beacon Park. We are sorry to see the clumsy management of Jarvis, and hope that the interest in Athletics that has spread so wide of late may not be entirely killed by the want of proper grounds for practice.

...stern was even with the Yale bow. Now Yale began to spurt for the corner, and her stroke rose to 38. Harvard responded, and at the two-mile flag had opened half a length of clear water between her opponent's boat and her own. Harvard kept away very wide from the corner at the mouth of the Agawam, and for a short distance Yale seemed to be the inside crew; but presently Harvard swung around and again took the inside. Yale was now at 35 and Harvard at 32, and when the three-mile flag was reached that same...
...that much was not expected; for the selection of the committee was at the very best but a leap in the dark, and nobody had any expectation of landing on terra firma. Certain it is that if by terra firma is meant good faithful work, the result shows a wide gap between land and water. For ourselves, we saw at the time no reason why Mr. Notman should be cast aside and the self-styled (Cambridgeport) "Celebrity Photographer" should be employed in a work which requires tact, taste, and skill. By remembering just where a man sat in a group...
