...really a crew, instead of merely an agglomeration of oarsmen. Cornell wraps her as yet unselected men in the glory of her history, and claims that they will be worthy successors to the winners of 1875 and 1876, while Harvard proudly points to the record and experience and actual ability of her veteran crew. This difference of opinion can be settled in one way, and in one way only, - by a race...
...would have formed several sections in the course, and tried to make so valuable a course eligible for as many students as possible. Take a look at the Tabular View and see if it bears out this supposition. We find History 7 placed at nine o'clock, and in actual conflict with the Senior and Junior Greek course, with the advanced Latin composition course, with both the English courses, two German courses, all the advanced French courses, and two other History courses, together with several courses in Mathematics and Chemistry...

Such information, however, we are left to pick out for ourselves; and since we are obliged, in order to get at the precious bits which are of actual use, to take and digest an elective course for the whole year, we get all that book knowledge which, when without the power of practical application, is the bane of college graduates; while, to acquire this power, we have no instruction at all. The most important part of our education...
