...this. In fact, I meant to imply the contrary, and I am well aware that the most unpopular men in college are those who have so far mistaken the elements of popularity as to think that toadying is one of them. I did not, however, imply that any Harvard graduate was an imbecile. I merely drew a picture of Gosling, and if anybody insists that it is the picture of an imbecile I am not responsible for that opinion...
...unfavorable picture of it; and it is hardly fair to say that my statements correspond with the exaggerations of the Herald. College evils are grossly misrepresented by the public prints, and society at large is not aware how much good there is in college life, especially in life at Harvard. Ability, when it is attractive, is quickly recognized here, and our leading men exert a good influence over their fellows; for it is one of the happy distinctions of Harvard that a man cannot become popular here unless he fully deserves to be so.

THERE is every prospect that the Spring Races, which are to be rowed to-morrow, will be the most interesting and successful that Harvard has ever seen. For over two months the five eight oared crews have been in training, and for the last five weeks have been on the river daily. The sight of five eight-oared crews in line is of itself worth going several miles to see; but when the race between them is as close as that of to-morrow seems likely to be, the interest ought to be very great. Of the five crews...
