...does Nostaw do but hunt up a minister, drop one of his old friends, and take the minister into his confidence and friendship. What next? Nostaw has himself and a minister, and all he needs now for the marriage is Miss Crewel. He and the minister go to the fair one's relatives, tell them what an unsuitable man Mr. Colonel is in every particular, and finally influence them to kick Colonel out of the house on the occasion of his next call. A few days pass and Miss Crewel is hurried away in a carriage with Nostaw...
...classes. The members who come back here, year after year to renew their old class relations can tell of class mates who would have been prominent to-day, had they lived, as orators, literary men, scholars and statesmen, but who have won far greater renown for "Fair Harvard" by having enrolled themselves among the heroes of the nation. This interest, taken by men of our college, in the events of '69 and '64, shows that under this seeming apathy, so prevalent to-day among our students, there is an enthusiastic spirit, which needs only to be thoroughly aroused to make...
...game which, more than any other, combines pleasure with instruction, but it will also agreeably enlarge the acquaintance-the intimate acquaintance-of every member, with those who are to be his companions for the next four years.

Harvard then agreed to row Yale at New London a straightaway race in eights; and later, to row with Columbia under the same conditions. Now, if the two races are merged into one, another intercollegiate...
Furthermore, we are assured by our oarsmen, that a straight course is essential to a fair race between eights and that the course at New London is not broad enough to allow more than two. crews to row a straight course. If three crews started off together, a crooked course, according to the bends of the river, would have to be followed. Such a course, on account of the current in the middle of the river, would be manifestly unfair to the outside boats. Eel grass would then justly serve as an excuse for the defeated crews. Moreover, the trouble...
