...years ago, and more than one third are still living. What changes we have seen! Our country has extended from shore to shore. Spain and Portugal have national forms of government, Italy regenerated, Germany, after an eclipse of two centuries, coming out of the cloud, and now, as I hope, the Christian armies are moving to the Bosphorus to restore, as I trust, the cross to the citadel of Sophia. I see a magnificent highway on which humanity is marching to her high and noblest destiny; and you, young men, are the persons that I call upon...
...hope that the amount and character of the news contained in this issue of the Crimson will fully justify the delay attending it. The great mass of interesting news which accumulates during Commencement Week does not reach the majority of the students; furthermore, the press reports of the regatta are often, because of their omissions, untrustworthy, and to know Harvard's side of the story one has to wait until the first issue of the college papers in the fall.

In no important game recently have they made less than ten errors, and in some many more; a fact that does not harmonize with victory, or suggest convincing arguments for success. Our base-ball article elsewhere shows a very good record...
...were beaten in every event, except the three-mile run, a race which was on but one other programme. Undoubtedly, the fact that Jarvis had not been in a condition for use has much to do with the poor showing in athletics Harvard makes this year; but we hope that the comparison, so unfavorable this year, may be changed next spring, and that the Athletic Association may again meet with the success which it once...
