...professor in German philology, no one would have regretted more the failure of securing such a strong scholar than the Crimson. But it seems the Corporation, in its anxiety to get high authorities in their proper departments for our University, has allowed itself for the present to forget the actual needs of Harvard. What we do need is an instructor to fill the place of Dr. Hedge; and those who have had the pleasure of studying under Dr. Hedge will scarcely feel that his place can be filled by a great philologist. When the College shall have secured the services...
...used in the original laying-out of the track, and the whole contract was carried out in a thoroughly unsatisfactory and careless way. A survey made last fall has shown, moreover, that the whole field has sunk somewhat - in places, as much as a foot. If this is the actual state of affairs, - and there seems no reason to doubt the correctness of these statements, - something must be done at once. No one will care to make a record on a track which is not level, and the one branch of athletics in which Harvard was successful last year will...
...fishing in the Pliocene Age, and how many fish they caught on an average with each worm. I can tell you more. I can tell you why worms crawl, why the Nine muffs, why Juniors jodel.

But, until it is definitely decided in a formal convention whether Columbia forfeited its game of November 20 or not, we do not see how the title Yale claims can be allowed to her. If Princeton, after giving up (in the formal meeting...
...actual result is well known. Though the weather was perfect; though the arrangements were unexceptionable; though the crews were so evenly matched that every one predicted a close and exciting contest; and though, in fact, the rowing, merely as rowing, was a much more interesting exhibition than has yet been given by a Harvard-Yale race on the Thames, - the event was a thing of profound indifference to the public. "Absolutely nobody" went to see it. Not two dozen undergraduates from Columbia and not one dozen from Harvard were in attendance. The whole number of people attracted from...
