...conquest was completed and supplemented in the ensuing struggle for good government and order. The last two chapters treat of the social evolution in San Francisco and the history of California's land troubles and politics. The whole book is exceedingly interesting and entertaining, and is printed in neat form. Especially noticeable to Harvard men is the pleasant way in which the logical mind of the author has stamped its imprint throughout the book in the orderly arrangement of every chapter and paragraph...
...that the class races are over, the members of the various crews should not throw aside their boating suits and oars, but should set to work to form scratch crews, in order to bring out new men as future candidates for the 'varsity. There are plenty of men in college who, if properly coached, would make very strong oarsmen, but who, through diffidence or laziness, decline to put themselves forward. The boat-house contains several eight oared barges which might as well be put to some use; so there is no reason why three or four crews should...
...freshman nine this year is seriously handicapped by the fact that its two best men are playing on the 'varsity nine. During the Easter recess, several games were played, the results of which varied so much that it is now difficult to form an accurate estimate of the work done.

The nine as a whole must play more together, and each man should remember that he is in a responsible position, and owes it to his class to play in his very best form. Then, eighty-nine, when you face your adversaries of the 19th, remember three things, keep cool, be confident, but not over-confident, and play each man of you for all you are worth. And may success attend your efforts...
...Cooper at short. The visitors got their runs by bunching their hits and by Harvard bunching their errors. Ayrault pitched a fine game, allowing only two scattering hits to be made off his delivery. Nichols - as was to be expected - did not show up in his usual good form. Donovan, the League Umpire, did not appear, and his place was filled by a Columbia man, who was a little off on 'balls' and 'strikes.' Columbia secured two runs in the third inning on a muff by Phillips and two hits, one in the sixth and seventh on errors...
