...Freshmen. Captain North has two eights in training. His men row six or seven hundred strokes daily, and run about two miles. Several of the Freshmen are well built for rowing, and promise to make good men for the University; and the candidates are, as a whole, equal to the average Freshmen crew. Messrs. Schwartz and Crocker of last year's 'Varsity are coaching them with marked success. Mr. Schwartz in particular gives surprising evidence of a decided talent for coaching, the benefit of which we trust the 'Varsity may also enjoy. The Columbia and Yale Freshmen have been challenged...
...Seniors (from another college) to the important, passably lucrative, and quite honorable position of proctor, to the exclusion of men of abler scholarship and presumably closer interest with the University, who graduated in '75, '76, and '77. Such action as we complain of is frequent in German universities of equal standing with Harvard, but we hope that hereafter the committee will give the preference to Harvard graduates, to whom, other things being equal, it of right belongs...
...plain, not far from y towne of Boston. There is one principal building in which we all sleep, partake of nourishment, and abyde, numbering twenty-seven souls. It is a large and fair brick structure two storeys high, and I am led to believe that there is scarce an equal to it on this side y ocean.

We rise at five and go out into the yard to wash bye y time-honoured pump, after which y head professor - there are two tooters beside - conducts prayers...
...radically changed from what they were five years ago, requiring less dieting, etc., it is to be hoped that when the spring comes, men will be willing to make a temporary sacrifice of a few bodily comforts in order to put our Athletic Association on a footing equal to that of any college in the country. If men are to be induced to forego the pleasures of their Sybarite existence rather by the value of the prize than by the honor of winning the contest (and we fear they too often are), the association undoubtedly would do all in their...
...class during the last six years at least: we investigated no farther. Of course sound, deep scholarship cannot be measured; for there are very many men who really do hide their candle under a bushel; but in the long run, supposing the number of such men to be about equal in each succeeding year, an estimate of more or less value can be formed from mere outward success. In comparing Seventy-seven's record of honors with that of Seventy-two and later classes we find: '72, thirteen honors, partly first-class, partly second-class; '73, thirteen honors, first...
