...sincerely trust not; in this country of "champion pie-eaters," "champion walkers," etc., etc., we should hope that no gentleman or set of gentlemen would aspire to be called "champion" anything. As we understand it, Harvard proposes to send her eight, as Columbia did her four last year, merely as a college enterprise, and, without any regard for "championships" or "representative" college crews, to try if either of the English colleges can do in 1879 what they succeeded in doing in 1869. We have, and have had for two years, the best crew that ever sat in a Harvard boat...
...CORRESPONDENT, whose sense of justice seems to have got the better of his courtesy, questions the accuracy of our information in an editorial in the last Crimson. He objects to our statement that Freshmen in Matthews and Holyoke are obliged to pay the janitors exorbitant prices, because, as he says, the "rules and regulations laid down by the College authorities for the guidance of janitors in the duties of their position" say that the janitors may charge a sum not over twenty-five dollars. All the "rules and regulations" that our correspondent may be able to find on the subject...
...interesting show is promised by the Executive Committee for to-morrow. The Scratch Races will be rowed over the boat-house course, and, if we can judge from the number of the entries, will be well worth seeing.

It is a pity that single-scullers who have yet to win fame on the Charles are so shy in entering the Junior race. We are confident that there are men in the under classes who pulled in singles before they...
...success of the meeting of the H. A. A. last Saturday well illustrates a point we have always urged, - that a little training and self-denial will accomplish a great deal in athletics in a comparatively short time. We do not speak of the meeting as an unqualified success, for the entries were far too scanty, and some of the times made have been considerably beaten here; but there were two events that step several paces beyond anything ever done before at Harvard, the one hundred yards and the one hundred and twenty. In many of the other races better...
...regret that a few subscribers and many others were unable to obtain a copy of the last number of the Crimson. We anticipated a large demand on account of the publication of the constitution of the H. A. A., but the rush far exceeded our expectations. So many have expressed a desire for a copy of the paper that we shall publish, as soon as possible, a large second edition. Justice will thus be done to our subscribers, and all who desire will be able to obtain a copy of the H. A. A.'s constitution. While we regret that...
