...east "even more than in the west." "J. F. M." acknowledges that "more attention is given to oratory in the regular college curriculum" in the eastern colleges than in those of the west without caring to recognize the fact that the Oratorical Association among the western colleges is meant for a substitute, and a very poor substitute at that, for the instruction in elocution received at the eastern colleges. With all deference to the colleges of the west, it seems slightly unnecessary to incorporate into Harvard a tacitly acknowledged weakness of her humbler rivals. If they who desire the honor...
...propriety, moreover, I am not sure but that the carrying of this transparency is one of the things the seniors have already pledged themselves to abstain from doing. It was expressly stated and understood in the class meeting that our parade had no political significance. The college turnout meant, indeed, that a majority of Harvard men preferred to walk the streets in Republican company; but it in nowise indicated how their political preferences lay. This was the understanding, and the Union canvassers kept record of the choice of processions. But, by carrying transparencies bearing the presidential choice of the classes...
...every man who voted for Cleveland to go in the Blaine procession, paradoxical as this may seem. Those men who voted for neither procession, probably did so on account of perhaps a physical disability, but it is fair to suppose that he who voted for the Cleveland procession meant, and wished to go in that.

...college must do its share by turning out to applaud the men in their practice. The brunt of the work, however, has to be done by the team, and done faithfully. They must not allow themselves to be satisfied with the applause of the college, that is meant to encourage them to greater exertions. They should aim at perfection only, and should be far from satisfied with a game like Saturday's. They certainly played brilliantly then, and made a large score; but the other side were allowed to score also, although so inferior to our team. The goal...
Three freshmen eights started out and excited considerable mirth among the spectators by their perfect indifference to time or orders from the coxswains. To many, probably from their familiarity with horse races, "let her run" evidently meant "go it hard," so they jerked at the oars desperately until the coxswain, screaming "stop, stop," at the top of his voice, checked their impetuosity. The race was won by the following crew in 1 min. 21 3-4 secs.: Warren, Cabot, Hallowell, Hald, Griffin, goodhue, Homans, and Funnan; coxswain, Baldwin, '86. The officers of the race were: starter, C. P. Curtis...
