...Thanks; you pay the Freshmen a great compliment. Meanwhile, may we not improve the music...
...success of the meeting of the H. A. A. last Saturday well illustrates a point we have always urged, - that a little training and self-denial will accomplish a great deal in athletics in a comparatively short time. We do not speak of the meeting as an unqualified success, for the entries were far too scanty, and some of the times made have been considerably beaten here; but there were two events that step several paces beyond anything ever done before at Harvard, the one hundred yards and the one hundred and twenty. In many of the other races better...
...August 1, 1879. The Faculty are unwilling to let the Crew leave Cambridge before the end of the spring term, so it is impossible to fix upon an earlier date and at the same time allow our men a fortnight's training on the Thames. It seems a great deal to ask of English crews that they should keep in practice four months after their annual regatta; but Oxford ought to consent to this sacrifice of the summer, for she has owed us a race ever since our memorable defeat in '69. That we have decided to row, if possible...
...lectures in Sanders Theatre, to take the place of the series of concerts which it has been found impossible to give. The Natural History Society will, as usual, give a course of lectures, but the subjects are more or less of a scientific nature. It seems to us that great advantage could be derived from some general course, given principally by our own professors on subjects connected with their special departments.

The handicapping was a great success, and tempts us to say that it will be well for the Association to institute handicaps in everything next spring. The officers of the course were: Referee, F. W. Thayer, '78; Judges, S. Butler, '77, H. G. Danforth, '77, R. Trimble, '80, W. Kane, '82; Timekeepers, W. Twombley, '79, and W. Hooper...
