...summer vacation. Once more, as usual, the gawky Freshman and the self-important Senior are seen in our midst. There are probably, as there always have been, and will be, the usual number who come back with the purpose to stand high, work hard, and get all the possible good from the College; others who are simply content to get through, with the fraction of a per cent to spare; others, again, who have no aim at all, judging the future by the past. During the next year, it is safe to say, the usual number will work, the usual...
...that Holmes Field will be kept in constant use, for our foot-ball team owe it to themselves and to the College to place themselves on a level with the crew and the nine. It is true that the team will suffer severely by the loss of so many good players from '77; but there seems to be no reason why, with steady practice, a team could not be formed strong enough to bring back the laurels which were lost at New Haven last year...

Harvard's successes last June at Springfield and Hartford make it incumbent on those in whose hands are placed our boating and ball interests for the coming year to see that the laurels so nobly won are as nobly retained.

...afford cheap rowing for all another boat-house was built, and another lot of boats bought (or rather taken, for I believe they are not yet paid for), and the club system inaugurated. The club members had to pay, in addition to their subscriptions to the crew, a good deal of money for the privilege of rowing in very poorly kept boats; and in these hard times few could afford to join. Now, what all would like is, of course, some plan by which they could get an adequate return for what they pay for boating...
...disappointment. Perhaps it is safe to say that much was not expected; for the selection of the committee was at the very best but a leap in the dark, and nobody had any expectation of landing on terra firma. Certain it is that if by terra firma is meant good faithful work, the result shows a wide gap between land and water. For ourselves, we saw at the time no reason why Mr. Notman should be cast aside and the self-styled (Cambridgeport) "Celebrity Photographer" should be employed in a work which requires tact, taste, and skill. By remembering just...
