...start, and increased the lead to half a length in the first fifty yards, rowing 38 strokes to Harvard's 40. This state of affairs was of but short duration, however, and before another hundred yards had been covered, the Harvard boat had been sent a length to the fore. The times at the half mile were, Harvard, 2m. 58s.,: Columbia, 3m. 9s. At the mile buoy both crews were bending to their work with a 40 stroke, the crimson leading by four open lengths. Time, Harvard, 6m. 1s.: Culumbia 6m. 22s. Columbia now struck into a 44 stroke, only...
...editors who offer the prize, wish to defend themselves, knowing too well that the "wild eyed" poets need little incentive to write. Ever since the world began, man has been inclined to force his thoughts into poetry rather than write them easily in prose. The discount on poetry, there-fore, is very probably due to over-supply.

As was said earlier in the year the staples nestling in the woodwork of the bedrooms fail to give complete confidence that a fire would not bring disastrous consequences. There fore, why should not the authorities jump at the chance to prevent fires entirely, since a ready means for so doing has lately been invented? We refer to the new hand grenades, the accounts of successful trials of which fill the columns of the daily press. One or two of these...
...fixed hawser. At about eleven minutes after one o'clock the signal was given, which not all the crews seemed to understand, for '84 alone started at once. The juniors and then the freshmen followed quickly, but not until the orange and black was some feet to the fore. '86 did not start 'till a length or so after the others, and seeing that they had made a mistake stopped rowing. The referee desiring to see fair play, sounded the recall at once, but no attention was paid to it by '84, '85 and '87. As they evidently would...
