...anguish of defeat is too great to be augmented by harsh words; but defeat, though unpalatable, is often salutary. Had Americans, and especially Harvard men, instead of deluding themselves with patriotic excuses, taken a wholesome lesson from their plucky and honorable defeat on the Thames, more silk flags would adorn to-day our Alma Mater...
...students, but which has one advantage over previous one namely, that the contributors have in the end something to show for their money. The object in question is the erection of a window in Memorial Hall by the class of '77. Now, as it is intended to ultimately adorn our banqueting-hall with memorial windows erected by the different classes, why should not the class of '77 be one of the foremost in undertaking this work as she has others which have asked her assistance since she came to college? As yet only two classes have interested themselves in this...
...gentle-folk of good old England. The following morning the team and their friends were invited to be present at a fox-hunt at Outremont; accordingly they proceeded thither, and were treated to a spectacle not to be exceeded in interest even by the colored prints that adorn so many of our college rooms.

...entering our college races. If intercollegiate Freshmen contests are to be permanent, which we think quite unlikely, our Freshman crew could be allowed, with much propriety and fairness, to enter the spring races on equal terms with the other crews, and if they prove the winners their names should adorn the Beacon Cup as a Freshman crew. The only difference, then, between our Fall and Spring races would consist in the number of entries for each. The season is too short to allow of two sets of races, one for class crews and another for club crews. It is much...
