...practically the same decision which was arrived at some time ago by the management, so it only remains to get Columbia's consent. When the proposal made by Yale was forwarded by the managers of the Harvard crew to Columbia, she refused to give any decision in the matter until she heard the opinion of our freshman class. This opinion has been rendered, and the freshmen await the result with anxiety. We trust that future Harvard freshmen will never be compelled to regret the action...
...Minot in his lecture last night, entered at once upon the topic of Hygiene, and occupied an hour in an attractive and systematic exposition of the subject. The first thing that should be considered is the matter of ventilation, drainage, and position of our houses. Especially necessary is good drainage, as most cases of typhoid fever and diphtheria can be traced to defects in this. Bed-rooms and studies should be provided with open fire-places, as all other methods of heating are open to serious objection. Furnace heat raises the air far above a healthful temperature, besides robbing...
With regard to the care of the person, bathing is a matter of the greatest importance. A sponge bath daily, either cold or tepid, may be considered as a necessity.

We are assured that a large delegation of students will go to New Haven to-morrow. This number, no matter how large, ought in the light of yesterday's game, to be greatly increased. Every man in college who can possibly do so should consider it his duty to be on Yale field to-morrow afternoon...
...does not win in the annual boat race with Harvard this year it will not be for lack of work and professional coaching. Last year the crew had only amateur instruction, and not so much of that as they needed, while their rivals certainly enjoyed much professional advice, no matter how they got it. Yale's defeat, therefore, left her sore - and this year John R. Chainey, of London, a professional oarsman, is instructing the 'varsity eight. So, if they don't have the genuine English stroke this year the blues never will How that will compare with Harvard...
