...undergraduates generally, by bringing into popularity so healthy an exercise as boating. This it does in two ways, by encouraging rowing among those who train for the race, and among others who row out of pure love for the exercise. But, among students of literary tastes, there will be none corresponding to those in the second class, for no one would be inspired with a deeper love of scholarship or oratory because other men were to compete for prizes in those arts. Boating, ball-playing, and other forms of exercise, are the favorites by fits and starts, and depend largely...
...University crew will be substantially the same as last year. Among the candidates - in fact, the only one who is professedly so - is a member of the Law School. It is to be regretted that there is so little interest exhibited among the lower classes. Not only have none of them supplied any candidates, but, in addition, the subscriptions, particularly from the Freshman Class, have been miserably small.

The "loafer" realizes the complete heaven of college with voluntary prayers, voluntary recitations, voluntary everything! (which means, to him, none of these little annoyances.) He is free to sleep all day and misuse all the starry night; he is summoned to no exercise except his meals. This brings us to Commons. How unlike the stale routine of term-time is this our holiday bill-of-fare! Ancient mutton and the cheerful...
...easy to see how difficult it is for individuals to struggle against the state, in view of the number of its pupils, its influence, and the resources it commands. Up to the present time none but religious organizations have sustained with any success an opposition to this University instruction, and you can easily understand that this is not a state of things to be proud of; for, notwithstanding the abuses of our national system, I much prefer secular and university education to jesuitical and clerical...
