Yale has seven of her last year's crew back, if we include Mr. Parrott. He, however, has stated that he would not row this year; and those who are acquainted with his work in the past will say, that although he will be very much missed, yet he has earned by his faithful work the right of suiting his own convenience. The loss of Scott, '84, who rowed starboard stroke will also be deeply felt. He was generally admitted to be the handsomest oar in the boat, and then, too, his position is an unusually hard one to fill...
Another cold day and the customary high wind which accompanies such a day was what the foot ball men had to play in.

But that which will probably interest you most of all is Longfellow's first draft of Excelsior, dated September, 1841, half-past three in the morning. It is written in his usual neat hand on the back of a letter addressed to him by Charles Sumner...
...this room where the photograph albums of past classes are kept, and a glance into them would repay you. But enough. You must go there yourself if you wish to have your curiosity satisfied. There are many gems which time does not permit us to mention...
