...long as this diversity in admission exists, the value of a degree at one college must be greater than its value at another. This ought not to be, for it obliges the graduate to carry that invidious addition to his degrees, namely the name of the college where he got it; and such distinction, as long as it exists, can hardly be said to be for the best interests of education. The same remarks apply to certificates of admission as well as to certificates of graduation. Of course it is not desirable to lower the present high standard of some...
...four freshman crews took possession of the barge, and then the fun began. Every possible theory in regard to strokes was exemplified, and the resultant showers of spray were hailed with delight by the upperclassmen on the platform. After a great deal of scientific seamanship, the boats were finally got into line, and started. The rowing baffles description. At the outset the crew stroked by Beaumont, and steered by Mumford, obtained a lead which it held to the finish. This crew was composed of the following men: Bow, Grew, 2, Dorr, 3, Hathaway, 4, Lee, 5, Agassiz, 6, Saltonstall...
...harmless and good-natured as it was, the Boston press, notably the Herald, was filled with highly sensational accounts of the affair; these statements were at once copied over the country under the title of "Ruffianism at Harvard."

This is truly a good showing for eighty-nine, and indicates that the disuse of the library which has been a shame to some other classes has got to be a thing of the past. Unfortunately for eighty-nine, however, it has not had the advantage of such a talk as was given by Mr. Kiernan last year in regard to the proper method of using the library. No doubt that gentleman can be prevailed upon to repeat...
...minutes rest, play was resumed, and in one minute Montreal added one more to her score. Shortly after, the ball was faced again. Williams secured it, dodging finely, slipped and fell hut recovered himself in time to get the ball again and passed it to the attack. Soon Nichols got a free throw on account of a foul by Carlind. In seven minutes the goal was Montreal's. At this point Blake was injured and forced to leave the field, his place being filled by Abbott, '87. Monreal secured the next three goals, the last however, only after a quarter...
