...politeness and hospitality of Yale was deeply appreciated, and after the handsome supper given to our eleven, both teams parted on the best of terms with a "Good by till Thanksgiving...
...LIST of officers elected by the Senior Class at the meeting on Monday is published in another column. To this list Seventy-Eight points with complacent pride. Class dissension has vanished into thin air. Seventy-Eight, in unison and peace, restores dear, happy Class Day at Harvard, and good-will reigns supreme. Of the fifteen officers, eight were unanimously elected by acclamation; the seven others give universal satisfaction.

From the Crimson's account of the meeting of the Harvard Boat-Club we gather that the feeling at Harvard is that last summer "the first race was good discipline for the second," and that "the Yale race should be kept independent of all others." Some may be inclined to resent these expressions as showing a spirit of loftiness and condescension on Harvard's part. We trust, however, that no such feeling will arise. It is natural and right that Harvard should particularly wish to defeat Yale, and that she should make other...
