ALMOST simultaneously with the appearance of the Crew hats, and those of the two Nines, the Lacrosse team come out with theirs. This seems to me an infringement of the well-understood feelings of the College towards those men who, by hard work and well-earned victories, have added so much to Harvard's credit. It is proper enough that these men should have what little distinction they can get out of their position, for it is the only reward their fellow-students can be stow upon them. The Lacrosse team is a good one, but they have never played...
...this time it is doubtless generally known that the Freshman race between Columbia and Harvard has been given up. The action of Columbia, although to be regretted, seems to have been unavoidable. According to the statement of Captain Webb, he had not enough men (only seven, including substitutes) to fill the places in the boat, and therefore it was impossible for Columbia to row the race now. His offer, either to row next fall or to present our Freshmen with a stand of colors, is a sufficient proof of the sincerity and good feeling of Columbia. We are sorry that...

Students will be obliged to make a written statement in a book open for public inspection, that they derive no profit from the exchange of rooms. This will prevent some men from perjuring themselves who might do so under the present system; and if the objection is made that there are men who are willing to perjure themselves even in public, yet it must be remembered that the College can adopt no system under which reliance is not placed to some...
...they feel well enough satisfied with the experiment to make it a custom in future. The number of students who have been favored is comparatively small; but such social advantages would be valuable to all students, especially to those who do not have access to Cambridge society. Many Harvard men have no friends in the neighborhood of Boston, and are thus deprived of society at a time when it would be of the greatest benefit to them. There are many, also, who are not attracted by the form in which Cambridge society is at present offered to them...
