...overmastering passion, and the enormous inequality in possessions has created envy and social discontent, the lecturer set forth the difficulty in the way of convincing the American laborer that these social differences are created by nature. Our society is built on the doctrine that all men are created equal, and the spelling-book and the ballot are theoretically in the hands of every...
...unsuitability of the Thames course for three boats, is the statement to that effect that I heard last year from many skilled oarsmen. The CRIMSON acknowledges the unfitness in an editorial of Nov. 17, 1886 - "Another objection is that three eights cannot race on the Thames course with equal conditions to each. Anyone who has rowed on the river cannot fail to have noticed how much the tide and wind may be of advantage or disadvantage - as Yale found out to her cost. And though this may hardly seem possible when the width of the river is taken into consideration...
...impression created by your correspondent of yesterday requires as an adtidote the public expression of an opposing view, one which is held very genially throughout the college. First, your correspondent seems to admit that the course upon the Thames is so narrow that three crews cannot row there with equal chances, and he bases this assertion upon the fact that last June the Yale crew was compelled to swim over a part of the course. Now it has never been satisfactorily proved that Yale had any worse water than the other crews had. It has been satisfactorily proved, however, that...
...this claim is seldom made. The press teems with the well-grounded self-congratulations of Harvard and Yale. Princeton is, in name, about to become a university, while we at Pennsylvania are content to hide our light under a bushel. We have a corps of professors at least equal to that of any institution in America: we have open to us courses of study in all directions; we can become classical scholars, philologists, mathematicians, engineers, chemists, botanists, financiers, biologists, physicians, dentists, veterinary surgeons, lawyers - in the different departments which our Alma Mater provides for our use. We draw students from...
...that '90 should look well at what it is doing in admitting Yale to the contest. First, let the freshmen remember that the Thames course is not a course adapted for three crews. Wide as the river seems, it is impossible for three crews to race upon it with equal advantages of wind and tide. One crew must suffer at best; what, then, will the case be, should the weather be such as it was last year or if other unfavorable conditions should arise? We do not think of this when the Yale boat suffers but had it been...
