...have been presented to the Association by the Triton, Eureka, and Passaic Boat Clubs of Newark, N. J. These will be rowed for annually, the style of the three races to be hereafter determined. Perhaps singles or pairs, with fours and eights, would meet with the most general approval among college oarsmen..... The three cups cost the manufacturers not far from $1,000, and far surpass any prizes ever before offered in aquatic contests either in England or this country...
...burlesque. The Glee Club will sing between the acts, and thus add another attraction to the theatricals and form an additional element of their success. We hope certainly that undergraduates will not be satisfied with securing seats for themselves, but will aid as much as possible in placing tickets among their friends.

If true, things have vastly improved in England over what they used...
There are at present thirty or more Americans at Oxford, most of whom are probably sent to imbibe conservative views, or because they or their parents have been fired by reading "Tom Brown." But Oxford is commonly conceived of as far more stereotyped than it really is. Among the works studied are those of Gibbon, Hume, Voltaire, Mill, Darwin, Huxley, and Tyndall. In Merton Library old books still remain chained to the wall, but as a visitor was looking at them he noticed that the last two books issued to a student were works of the most sweeping radical...
