...Crew and the Nine have added two more to the long list of Harvard's victories. At New London the former gave a pretty exhibition of their stroke, in a so-called race with Yale; at Providence the latter played and won one of the most creditable contests on record. The remarkable manner in which, by steadiness and pluck, Harvard won the last of the games for the championship, is too well known to need further comment; it is not to our past achievements, but to our future athletic interests that we direct our attention at the beginning of another...

We have probably lost all but one of our last year's crew, and men who have been long associated with our boating interests are now no longer connected with the University.

He merits our enduring gratitude for his loyal service to the College, and our reverent memory for his blameless excellence in every relation of life...
...Exonian bewails the present state of its finances, and hopes for better things in the future. Last term the editors were assessed one dollar and fifty cents each to make up a deficit. Exeter is taking great interest in her athletic sports this year...
