...books may have been put under restriction rather hastily. Walt Whitman was in disgrace, though, to our minds, reading his verses, if a crime, is in itself sufficient penance; and Swinburne was forbidden, while Byron was not. But the list of restricted books has been carefully revised, and the number upon it is now almost ludicrously small. Some may think that they should be permitted to read even these few, and we doubt not that upon presenting good reasons to the Librarian they will be permitted to do so; but let us hear no more complaint about a restriction really...
...committee. As was announced last week, the meeting in the Gymnasium will be held early in March, and will include all the usual sports, of which a list (though not the order) will be found in another column. According to the part of the Constitution already adopted, the number of tickets distributed will be limited, and thus that over-attendance which has frequently been disagreeable will be avoided. The days for the sports will be selected with reference to the Freshman examinations, and we hope '82 will take advantage of this opportunity to increase their already good reputation for athletics...
...records as at the few entries. To think that only two contestants appeared for the half-mile run, for instance, - only two out of a thousand men at your University! Why, at Eton or Harrow or any school here, I am sure there would have been ten times that number, at least half of whom would have beaten that time. Tell me, is it that Harvard men take no interest in athletic games, or that they are lazy? For your papers are always full of sporting news, and would lead a stranger to suppose that the chief aim of your...
...annual University race between the two old colleges is rowed at New London on the last Friday afternoon of June, a greater number of the people who are interested in the competition can attend it - and at a far less sacrifice of money, time, and comfort - than could attend it at any other place. Last summer's crowd was much larger than any which had previously assembled on any similar occasion in America, and it is fair to presume that if next June's crews are believed to be evenly matched, the attendance will be doubled. But New London offers...
...prove this last remark would require my entering into minute details, which would not interest your readers, and so I must content myself with the simple assertion that quite a number of little improvements which the New-Londoners had planned to make, for the benefit of the University crews of Harvard and Yale, will necessarily have to be abandoned in case any other crews are in practice at the same time upon the river. Having for a dozen years and more attended all the intercollegiate regattas at Worcester, Springfield, and Saratoga, and having carefully examined the causes which have invariably...
