...Saratoga. The Era of April 12 seems to consider, very naturally, that the race is "off." Once again we urge the Freshmen to meet the consequences of their want of prudence boldly, and consent to row at Saratoga. Of course individuals are to blame for causing a hasty and ill-considered challenge to be sent, but the whole class is responsible for the result. Whatever means they may take to punish their evil counsellors, they cannot honorably escape the consequences of following bad advice...
...than was expected, and are mainly in the Department of History. Dr. Emerton has a new elective, which covers an interesting period, and ought to prove valuable; but we are sorry to see that the course in Mediaeval Institutions has been given up.

To discourage a spirit of ungenerous rivalry and to curb the impatience of a morbid ambition, is the noblest work of the higher education. This work Harvard not only does not advance...
...last Advocate, in an editorial, makes a personal attack on the instructor in Sophomore Rhetoric. The writer of this piece implies that the instructor is neither "sensible" nor "competent," and is to blame for the ill-bred conduct of some members of his class. The Faculty is recommended to discharge the instructor at the end of the year, and it is suggested that it might be well for the University if he should be dismissed even before that time...
