...confidently expect that hard work and honest, faithful training will bring the champion ship to Cambridge in 1885. The chances of our winning the race with Yale depend upon two variables,-the members of the crew, and the Athletic and Advisory Committees. As to the first we have no fear; as to the second-well, as we do not wish to risk our reputation as a prophet we had better be silent. In lacrosse, tennis and track athletics there can be but little doubt every effort will be made to better our records, and there seems to be great probability...
...college course and glancing around us, both backward and forward. It is but natural that we should look back, first of all, upon the fall term which has just closed, but which already seems a long way in the past. To many of us, in fact we fear to a great majority, such a glance will give us cause to rejoice that there are still a few weeks before the examinations in which we can endeavor to make up for the time which has not been devoted to our studies.

Indeed, in every table group, we find one acknowledged funny man or punster. If these persons would only try a few times until they get the style of writing...
...brief time since it began its existence. Probably, however, our correspondent mistook the character of the meeting tomorrow night. As to the audience at this meeting, we would advise everybody to attend, only we don't know how well the club can speak. However, we have no fear about the size of the audience. The men in college who take an interest, either active or passive, in elocution, are numerous enough to fill Sever 11 twice over. A large number of these will wish to see how the experiment of an elocutionary club succeeds...
