...University eight as the champion college crew of America, neither does he wish the English colleges to look upon us as champions. Cornell now holds the championship, though her present crew is by no means identical with the crew that won in 1876. On the other hand Harvard has good reason to believe that her crew of 1878 would make a good race with any college eight that can be got together and trained before next summer. It is the desire of our crew to row against Cornell and any other colleges that are willing to pull in eight-oars...
...soon at Princeton's end of the field. Holmes and Cowdin were particularly active, and Harvard seemed determined to do something. Princeton was obliged to touch the ball down behind her goal-line three times, our half-tends making several attempts for a goal, but gaining nothing.

For their willingness to sink all society feeling, and their desire to secure a fair and honorable election, not only the College but all friends of Harvard must thank the Class...
...college walls. Students are rigorously restrained from frequenting public houses and saloons; this hardship, however, is mitigated by the privilege of obtaining at cost from the college stores as much wine or spirits as is desired. After all allowances are made for debaucheries in other towns, there are good grounds for believing that the moral character of Oxford is exceptionally high...
