...considerable part of the stroke is lost at both ends, by clipping and an imperfect finish. The individual faults are as follows: bow settles at the finish; two hangs at the finish, and is thus obliged to rush down on the recover, his swing is inaccurate; three occasionally swings forward too far, and gets into a position for the catch; four meets, which weakens his finish and makes his shoot violent; six meets and settles at the finish; seven hurries the recover; stroke hangs and swings back...
...enterprise of the Harvard Union in inviting President Eliot to address the students, under its auspices, in Sanders Theatre, is most commendable. We have heard very much favorable comment among undergraduates in regard to this action of the Union, and the opportunity of hearing our President is looked forward to with great expectancy. The duties of the executive head of this university are so manifold that he could not be expected to conduct courses in some branch of learning, as is the custom with the presidents of almost all other American colleges, but that he has not hitherto taken occasion...

The best material of the college...
...gymnasium in quest of information in regard to the condition of the Columbia crews. A rather intimate acquaintance with the oarsmen of Harvard compels us to doubt the truth of this statement. We are also puzzled as to the reasons the journal in question could have had for bringing forward such a charge. Surely we have been enabled in the past to present to Columbia an uninterrupted view of our rudder without any resort to "sneaking." Is there any reason to doubt that this will hold true of the future...
