...annual boat race between Cambridge and Oxford takes place next Saturday, the 24th of March. It is thought that the contest will be a close one. Cambridge has a finer set of men and her crew is working very hard. But the Oxford crew row in better form than their rivals, and will have an advantage if the race is in a high wind. Their stroke is more effective in rough water than that of the Cambridge...
...must have more editors on the CRIMSON from the class of ninety. That class seems to be a peculiarly apathetic one, and the sooner it bestirs itself, the better. We have appealed to the class time and again since their entrance into college, and it is a disgraceful fact that there are only two regular editors from ninety on the CRIMSON board to-day-at least two or three less than there should be.

...lectured here last Monday at the invitation of the Finance Club, graduated from the Harvard Divinity School in 1875. He was not, however, a graduate of the College.

The library of the University is poverty striken as far as classical and contemporary art is concerned. Of artists now living...
...students. Copies and engravings are far too valuable to be available for such a collection, but photography has supplied the means of forming a comparatively cheap, yet none the less useful collection of pictures. Colleges much smaller than Harvard have begun the collection of pictures, and consequently art is better taught in these colleges than at Harvard. In no direction could steps for the improvement in methods of instruction at Harvard be more consistently taken than in the foundation of a collection of photographs to aid in the art courses...
