GREEK 5 is the least difficult course, and is intended for the average scholar. It corresponds to Latin 1. Greek 6 and 7 are of a higher grade, equivalent to Latin 2, 3, 5, and are intended to meet the wants of those who are somewhat more ambitious or proficient than the majority. Greek 6 has a historical tendency, and Greek 7 is decidedly philosophical and in this respect the complement of Latin...
...been, the right color of Harvard; accordingly the name, as applied to the paper, would be a mere vagary, or, worse, a solecism, in case another college should adopt magenta as its color. The general diffusion of the fact that crimson is Harvard's color will be somewhat difficult, and the difficulty would probably be increased if a paper existed at Harvard called the Magenta.

However, it rests with each captain to pull the stroke that pleases him best, and the result of the races will judge it. Of the Matthews Six it is difficult to say much. They are more irregular than the other crews; but they look remarkably strong and capable of quantities of hard work. They are, by all odds, the heaviest crew. If the next three weeks' work brings them together, we venture to predict for them a front place...
