I should like to know when I should meet the nicest fellows, as I go on the tramway - I mean, horse-car - been on the Continent so much - a good deal." As the entire faculties of '82 seem to be concentrated in an effort to meet only "nice fellows," I thought the matter would interest them all; so I told my young friend that he might look for an answer in the next Crimson...

After a good deal of useless discussion as to who should write the letter, it was voted to leave the wording and forwarding of the communication to a committee consisting of Mr. Alexander Agassiz, Mr. George Roberts, Mr. Trimble, President, and Mr. Allen, Secretary of the Club.

C. has been held, and has adopted the suggestions made at the dinner; and a challenge for an eight-oared race of four miles has been received from Cornell. It is stated on good authority that Columbia is eager for a race. Mr. Roberts has been authorized to write an unofficial letter to England to ascertain whether it will be possible to arrange a race with the English University eights for August 1, 1879. The Faculty are unwilling to let the Crew leave Cambridge before...
