...very tame affair. We are sorry to see that so few entries have been made for this race. If an interesting and well contested race, in which a large number of men would enter, could be arranged for next Saturday, there is little doubt but that this new branch of athletic sports would receive such encouragement as to secure its permanent existence at Harvard. To those who are actively interested in rowing, but who are not members of the regular crews, an excellent opportunity is now offered to enjoy their favorite sport, and what is more, to establish the custom...
...full professorship in German. This condition of irresponsibility probably accounts for the absolute lethagy which has characterized this department of instruction.

Hitherto the candidates for final honors were obliged to spend what amounted to a full course for at least two years in this branch, now practically the same work is covered in two half-courses. It will be noticed that the freshmen courses in Latin are all framed in a manner to encourage ease in reading at sight, the aim being to prepare them more thoroughly for the higher work, which cannot be done satisfactorily...
