...postponed class races were rowed Saturday morning, April 16, over the Back Bay course, down stream, under fair conditions. 1900 won by a length and a half in excellent form. '98 was second, half a length in front of '99, who finished very weak. 1901 brought up the rear with their stern barely overlapping the Junior boat. The time was 9 minutes 52 1-2 seconds. The four crews caught the water well together, '99 taking the lead, and holding it for about three-quarters of a mile. At the bridge the race seemed to be between them...
Just after passing the bridge Higginson raised the stroke and the 1900 boat moved to the lead. The Junior crew was unable to respond to a higher stroke, it had no power though the form was good. Dobyns took it up for a beautiful spurt in the Senior boat and his crew passed '99 about a half mile from the finish and steadily closed in on the Sophomores until the line was crossed. Had the course been an eighth of a mile longer the Freshmen would have passed '99. The work of 1901 throughout was very promising and their final...
...race was started at 10 minutes past six with a rough sea, a steadily increasing northeast wind blowing, and a fine rain falling. '99 caught the water first, but 1900 immediately took the lead, and rowing in splendid form, began to draw away from the other crews.

Inevitably any prescribed system must be carried on along certain restricted lines, while many alternatives may be offered in an elective, and men enabled to choose their favorite form of exercise. For instance, not only would those training for the athletic teams be excused from any fixed form of exercise, but tennis, boxing, fencing, golf, bicycling, could be taken into account, and even geological or botanical excursions accepted as a substitute. In fact, it is our opinion that...
...north row of seats, Sophomores at the foot of the west row, and Freshmen at that of the south row. The Seniors after marching around the Yard and cheering the buildings as heretofore, with the addition of the old Tree, will enter last in caps and gowns, and will form in semi-circles in front of and facing the statue. The arrangement would then be, graduates at the end of Memorial Hall with John Harvard at their head, and Seniors facing the statue about to be welcomed into the ranks of the graduates...
