...urgent need of a new dormitory becomes more and more apparent at the beginning of each college year. Especially is the want felt this year, with the largest freshman class that has ever come to Harvard. If the classes continue to increase, as seems likely judging from the past, it is but a question of time when more suitable accommodations must be furnished either by the college itself or by private enterprise. A great majority of students prefer rooming in the college buildings, as the rooms are more convenient, and in many instances cheaper. The popularity of the college rooms...
...that Harvard was well represented in the intercollegiate sports would be but a feeble encomium of the magnificent work which our representatives did at New York. Before the sports Columbia thought she had a good chance of winning the cup, as did Yale, and, although we felt that we had the best chance, we never for one moment expected that, to say nothing of winning the cup, we should win as many first prizes, seven, as have ever been won by a single college. and should totally eclipse all our competitors. Our nearest rival, Princeton, won but two first prizes...
...Harvard crew instantly forged ahead, rowing 41 strokes to their opponents 47. Columbia rowed in poor form, splashing very badly and rolling the boat. Harvard's perfect form almost immediately gave her a commanding lead, and before the first half minute was passed the men in the Cambridge boat felt sure of victory. The half mile was passed by Harvard in 2 minutes 30 seconds, with Columbia a length and a half behind. From this point the race was converted into a procession similar to the Harvard-Columbia race of the previous week. At the mile, which Harvard passed...
...result of the Columbia race is perfectly satisfactory to Harvard. Although but little doubt was felt in Cambridge about the success of our crew, still to have our confidence justified by such a marked victory is peculiarly gratifying to Harvard. Although the charge that the Harvard crew, after defeating the Yale crew in such a fast race, was afraid to row Columba, last year, was a preposterous one, still we fear that there were many men from the New York college whose hopes so warped their judgment that they almost believed it. Such men will be relieved by the race...
...triennial dinners. Those who wish to carry away copies can get them at cost of the committee at the dinner. It is especially requested that all copies not so purchased be left on the table. The class committee, in behalf of the class, heartily welcome any who have not felt able to subscribe to the class funds. Those who feel able to give, however little, are reminded that the success of enterprises of the class is dependent on the interest of its members. Mr. Grandgent has kindly consented to act as toastmaster, and Mr. Dorr as chorister...
