...their professors. The most perverse opponent of co-education and the higher education of women can not continue incredulous after such monumental success as this has crowned the four years' effort of the Annex. If such a result had been confined to the experiment entered into with such fear and tremboing at Cambridge, it might be considered something phenomenal out of the natural order of things, and therefore worthy of no particular attention except as a curiosity. But it happens that that same result may be seen wherever women have been admitted to men's colleges...

After expressing the hope that the Harvard men would not paint the whole town red, the governor retired amid the cheers of the crowd...
...that the Columbia race has been rowed, and Harvard has so completely disposed of the absurd story of her fear of last year, we hope that measures will be taken toward giving up the Columbia race. We can afford to withdraw after such a victory, and devote ourselves entirely to Yale, as Yale devotes her energies entirely to defeating Harvard. The disadvantages of the race with Columbia are too many and too well known to require description. We think we voice the sentiment of the college in asking that the race in the future be given up. Columbia is satisfied...
