There is nothing worthy of much comment on the upper two miles, until we come to the start, which is directly opposite the Harvard quarters. The starting point is in the middle of a great bed of eel grass, about which we have heard so much. The grass seems to grow very luxuriantly in this especial place, lying in great masses all over the surface of the river. But notwithstanding everything said about it, it really doesn't stop a boat very much, the main inconvenience being the difficulty one has in rowing his oar. About three-eighths...
...they have their ears shorn off for professing non-or thodox faith. In the light of these great changes, it is wise that compulsion in religious matters here should have been done away with forever. The CRIMSON'S position in this matter is too well known to require further comment.

...would like to comment on the notice which appeared in a recent issue of the CRIMSON, stating that the sophomore dinner must be given up on account of the small number of men who have signed for it.

But the dinner should have been held early in the spring. It was simply negligence and lack of interest which has delayed the dinner. Let the dinner take place at once...
...publish in our communication column a letter from a gentleman who objects to receiving postal cards informing him that, "so and so '8 -, will run over the course in French XVII, and will comment on each play read; price, $1.00." We see no reason why this should affect the gentleman's delicate sensibilities any more than an advertisement in the CRIMSON to that effect, or a poster on the bulletin boards, or a folder in his morning paper. There can be no discrimination as to what goes through the mail; if there were, who would not exercise his rights...
...comparison with so painful a catastrophe. We trust, however, that the game may be speedily played off, as it promises to be the most exciting and closely contested of the whole series. Both nines yesterday were well settled to their work, and were fairly matched. We need not comment upon the plucky game which our representatives were playing, but desire to express our confidence in the result. We trust that another year will again see the CRIMSON triumphant. The steadiest play is called for in a contest against so powerful and well organized a nine as the "Peachblows...
