...venture to state further, that at the end of not many years ahead of us Harvard University will become a university in fact. And that it will simply be the care of the faculty to attend to the studies of the students, and to let the rest fall upon the shoulders of the men themselves...
...first charge arose from the fact that the pitcher and catcher of last year's nine at Williams were graduated in June, and that Wilson, pitcher of Bowdoin, and Clark, a catcher of Brown, left their respective colleges last fall and entered Williams. The natural inference drawn by men in other colleges was that they were paid to come, or at any rate were influenced by some inducement or persuasion on the part of Williams.

Besides the freshman classes of the two universities meet on the foot-ball field in the fall, and in the spring on the diamond, and it is only natural that the two crews should carry out this system on the water. The exclusion of our freshmen from the New London race will not check the importance that is now attached to this crew, as they have already under advisement...
