...often been remarked, that the organization of our boating interests is far superior to that of the base ball or football clubs. The class crews, training for half a year, cannot fail to furnish abundant material for the university crew. To this, may be attributed, in a great measure, our success on the water. Class nines were formerly in vogue at Harvard and a few games were played for the class championship. But, as none of the nines made any previous preparation, they furnished no new men for the regular nine and awakened little interest. Now that we have...
...management or indifference. At other colleges the system pursued is much different, and the results are most gratifying; but at Harvard, while the teams are good, and composed of the best men in the college, still, when substites have to be employed, their lack of training and skill is often painfully evident, and always will be until some change be made by the students.

Now, during the spring time, when ball games and athletic games in which Harvard is interested, are taking place at a distance, the undergraduate population as a whole become interested and anxious that...
Although the celebrations in which the students of Harvard occasionally indulge are often annoying to the seriously inclined and especially to the quiet inhabitants of Cambridge, there is invariably some cause for the celebrations, and in most cases a good and sufficient cause. Our celebrations, we believe, are always confined to victories, which have been won by our teams. At some of our sister colleges, however, this limit is overstepped. The slightest cause will often be considered sufficient for a celebration. At many of the smaller colleges the completion of the study of mathematics is seized upon as a suitable...
