...success of the theatricals in New York has been the topic of conversation in college for a week, but we cannot pass them by without notice. That these theatricals were the best ever given by Harvard men is everywhere conceded, and indeed it would be hard to give a play under a combination of more favorable circumstances. The class of '77 while in college had a great and well deserved reputation for acting, and '79, in the late performance in Boston, proved to be a worthy successor.

We are not familiar with all the facts in the case, but we do not believe any applicant will be prevented from trying for the crew...
...aware that the Herald is the official organ of the H. U. B. C., although the Yale graduate seems to consider it as such. Perhaps it is just as well to say, however, that Harvard men are perfectly well aware that under the rules Mr. Peabody cannot row on our crew in the race with Yale...
