...class of '83, whom we welcome cordially to Harvard, should appreciate the importance of the position they are called upon to fill. The College has lost, with '79, men whose faithful four years' work has secured, in large measure, our athletic successes. The upper classes cannot properly fill the vacant places on our teams; and even if they could, it would be better to secure men who can remain in training for four years, and give in future years that confidence to our Crew, Nine, and Eleven which only the presence of old athletes can impart. If '83 follows...
...Crew and the Nine have added two more to the long list of Harvard's victories. At New London the former gave a pretty exhibition of their stroke, in a so-called race with Yale; at Providence the latter played and won one of the most creditable contests on record. The remarkable manner in which, by steadiness and pluck, Harvard won the last of the games for the championship, is too well known to need further comment; it is not to our past achievements, but to our future athletic interests that we direct our attention at the beginning of another...
...College for Women begins its career with bright prospects for future success. As many as twenty candidates have presented themselves for admission, and among them students from Vassar, Smith, and Wellesley, in spite of the fact that those colleges claim to offer to their students all the advantages of Harvard.

It is controlled by persons who have no connection with the University, and is merely a means...
...task is ours this year. Captain Trimble occupies a more difficult position than has been held by any captain of the Crew for several years; but he has already proved himself well fitted for the place. Upon the new men rests a large part of the responsibility of sustaining Harvard's boating record. They can do much towards making the captain's position an easy one, and we look to them for hard, earnest work. Yale is enthusiastic under her new captain, and has voted to challenge us at once. Her crew, the same as last year, with one exception...
LAST June we spoke of the great need of a Professor of Hygiene, at Harvard, and advocated Dr. Sargent, of New York, for the position. We now take great pleasure in announcing the appointment of that gentleman. Dr. Sargent is a graduate of Bowdoin and of the Yale Medical School, and is widely known for his success in curing disease by "gymnastic treatment." He is an accomplished gymnast, and will give individual instruction and advice in the Gymnasium. He has a seat in the Faculty, and will have full charge of his department. Under Dr. Sargent's instruction the utmost...
