...action of certain members of the class in putting a stop to this unmanly proceeding is commendable. When a heedless crowd try to revive a custom that college men have frowned upon for the last four years, and so far forget the sentiment of the College to-day, as to "bulldoze" lower classmen, it is time to recall them to their senses. The gentlemen, no matter what society they belong to, who have the high-toned feeling and the pluck to stop any attempts at hazing deserve the thanks and the respect of the whole College...
...philosophy or mathematics for men who have tastes in that direction only? It is not claimed that the establishment of such a department would raise up in our midst another Emerson or Lowell; but, genius or no genius, intimacy with the immortal thoughts of AEschylus, Plato, Dante, and a crowd of lesser luminaries, cannot fail to brighten and cheer our own feeble and faint steps. With proper restrictions such a course might be made thorough and exhausting; while by a judicious admixture of the history of the writers, their influence, predecessors, etc., a more comprehensive, comparative, and reasonably scholarly survey...
...eight o'clock the Yard was very brilliantly lighted with Chinese lanterns, a crimson arch over the entrance opposite University being a new feature in the illumination.

Columbia's hard work was telling on her, but still, with her admirable pluck, she spurted again and again, and as Harvard dropped her stroke to 33, and pulled easily along in search of the stake-boat, the position of which was completely concealed by the crowd of small craft hanging around the finish-line, the distance between the two shells was decreased to three lengths, in which position they crossed the line. Harvard's time was 21 minutes and 37 seconds; Columbia's, 21 minutes and 50 seconds. H. S. Van Dusen, Harvard, '75, acted as referee...
FEWER strangers were in Springfield at the time of the Columbia race than at any other College regatta ever rowed there, and comparatively little interest was taken in the event; but on Friday a much larger crowd and more intense interest was everywhere to be seen. In regard to the merits of the three crews, it was generally considered that Yale's form was the best, but Harvard's muscle much superior to that of either of her opponents; while Columbia excelled only in pluck. Before the Yale race came off, however, Harvard made rapid improvement, and at the time...
