Yale Record.A LATE number of one of our most valuable exchanges, The Forest and Stream, had an article on college journalism, in which various journals are complimented, and mention is made of the fact that college journalism is very different now than in the early days of the Yale Banner, which was the pioneer, thirty years ago. It is this latter statement which we wish to correct. In the Harvard Library there is a bound volume containing the numbers of The Harvard Lyceum, published fortnightly from July 14, 1810, to March 9, 1811. This periodical seems to have owed much...
...clear indication of his opinion as to which boat should bear the blame of the foul. No one can regret more than Harvard that he refused to order the race rowed over, which it was his plain duty to do, in accordance with Rule XII. It is worthy of mention, and is not, we think, generally known, that the Harvard crew preferred a petition to this effect with the judges, at the same time with their claim of foul, and before leaving their boat...
...first mention we find of such an observance is that about the year 1760 the students had become so boisterous in their demonstrations on that day that the College authorities attempted to abolish the custom, which had then been in existence a considerable time.

And it only demonstrated the superiority of the steady swing in a long race. The steadiness with which the stroke kept at his work was much to be praised, and we are glad...
...last summer, the editor places the crews according to his own observation of their positions at the finish, placing Columbia next after Harvard. It is refreshing to observe that, although he speaks of the negligence of the judges who were placed at the finish, the compiler makes no mention of the "diagonal line." The rules of the Rowing Association of American Colleges, those of the Association of Amateur Oarsmen, the rules of betting, the definition of an "amateur" oarsman, several pages for memoranda, and various tables of more or less value to boating men make up the rest...
