...manly game and one that every man may be proud of. He said he would rather see Harvard successful in rowing or on the field than in intellectual labor, better to show four miles of rudder to the New Haven crew than to earn summa cums, and better by far to raise the play away above the orange and black. From the work of the eleven this year we may truly hope for success in another year under Captain Cumnock's management...
...points of view a marked success and both in numbers and enthusiasm, surpassed any dinner that has ever been given by Harvard men to an athletic team. The fact is more remarkable, too, when we reflect that the team in whose honor the dinner was given has been far from successful in actual victories won. There is but one conclusion to be drawn. Captain Cumnock and his men were honored for their manly struggle and signal fair play throughout the season...
Lessing was perhaps the greatest critic that ever lived. His superiority was demonstrated in his judgment of Shakespeare, whom he understood far better than his English contemporary, Johnson. His literary reviews were fearless, and even his personal friends were not spared.

In the Laocoon he drew the distinction between painting and poetry, and made evident the great harm that had been done by the confusion...
...Harvard's second argument against the scheme proposed. Does Harvard, after the stand which she has taken, wish to consider any proposition whatever save that of a dual league. The answer to the question is not easy. And yet this is certain, that the action that Harvard has thus far taken is a half way action, that she should either have postponed the question of a withdrawal, or else have withdrawn from all athletics. The former alternative is now out of the question-the latter only remains, and there is certainly much to commend this. The position in which Harvard...
...athletic field presented to Williams college by the Hon. Byron Weston. The grounds, a great improvement on the old ones, are sufficiently large to furnish two foot ball fields, and give an excellent chance for base ball. This fall the donor has built a track which, as far as advantages go, will put Williams on an equal footing with her rivals. The track is oblong in shape, fifteen feet wide and a sixth of a mile in circuit. It is very carefully underdrained and is composed of pin gravel covered to a depth of nine inches with cinders. The track...
