...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 year. It will not be possible for us again to rely...
UPON the Crew in particular we would urge the necessity of immediate and energetic action. Our success in the past three races must not be taken as a criterion of success in the future. We have probably lost all but one of our last year's crew, and men who have been long associated with our boating interests are now no longer connected with the University. We have plenty of good raw material; but Yale's experience has testified that the moulding of raw material into an efficient crew is no easy task. Such a task is ours this year...
WHAT has been said of our athletic interests in general, applies most immediately to our foot-ball team. We unfortunately had an instance last year of a case where, with plenty of very good material on hand, no proportionately good result was obtained.

To have four or five good individual players who belong to other departments of the University, and who cannot do the same amount...
...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...
JAMES WINTHROP HARRIS,SECRETARY of the University, performed his last official service on Commencement Day, went from Sanders Theatre severely ill, and early in the vacation closed an honored, faithful, and exemplary life. He belonged to a family intimately connected with the College, his father and elder brother - both eminent in their respective departments of learning - having borne office here. He was himself prepared for college, and retained through life the scholarly tastes which would have promised success in a literary career. For the last quarter of a century or more he has filled the office of Secretary, and without...
