Professor Francis G. Peabody opened the meeting by explaining the purpose of the conferences. They are designee to bring the teachers and students closer together, and to give an opportunity to talk over the deeper issues of university life. The great trouble here at Harvard is the lack of "team play" among the right minded. There are many who have the best interests of the University at heart, but their efforts are less successful because they lack union. As time goes on, the tendency to deeper thought acquires greater strength. This is shown by the increase, this year...
...course will be slightly altered this year. The flag at the start has been shifted eastward fifteen feet. This will give the west crew deeper water than it has formerly had. For two miles the course is unchanged, but after the two-mile flag the course bends west, then strikes straight for the finish. The finish flag will be nearer the Groton shore than usual to avoid the docks used in building the new railroad bridge which will cross the river here...
...have increased and grown in any greater proportion than the University itself; nor do we believe that college duties are shirked because of interest in athletics to a much greater degree than they would be shirked supposing there were no athletics at all.

We hear no longer of "town and gown" fights, of practical jokes played upon professors and Cambridge citizens, and of other childish exhibitions...
...would be positively ludicrous if it was confined to speech alone; but when this ignorance finds expression in the columns of the newspapers of the country it greatly injures the reputation of the college.

All protestations of innocence, when coming from a college man, are fruitless. The public is determined to misjudge us. The term "Harvard man" is considered by many to be a synonym for contemptible lethargy...
...instruction at Columbia, as in every other American college. It was often a feeble, sluggish current, but it was constant; and it sufficed to keep history from dying out in the student-consciousness. It would be unprofitable to follow this little classical stream through its meanderings to its present deeper and wider flow; it is enough to say that it began to expand during the tutorship of Charles Anthon, who was called to teach classics at Columbia in 1820. Later on he divided this department with Professor Drisler, but remained at the head until 1867, when he died. Without this...
