This contest is the only one for the University crew on the Charles this year and on that account is of as much interest as the races with Cornell last year and the year before have proved. It also is very pleasant for Harvard to extend to another field of sport her athletic relations with Columbia. For several years there have been contests in baseball, hockey, basketball, and other games between the two universities, but this is the first boatrace. Geographically, Columbia is situated near enough to Harvard for the two institutions to meet frequently...
...that in four out of five cases the immediate cause for lack of interest in any organization or activity is the presence of lazy or inefficient officers, men who accepted positions the accompanying duties of which they never intended to fulfil faithfully or have subsequently shirked. It is very pleasant to be known as the president or secretary of this or that organization, but it is an honor which should be paid for, if not bought, by a certain amount of effective work.

One is glad that the two college types suggested in the number are at least unobtrusive, if indeed they...
Especially for those students who so often complain of the funeral effect of a Sunday spent in Cambridge, the CRIMSON would take this opportunity of suggesting various interesting and pleasant excursions in the neighborhood. Concord and Salem, delightful old colonial towns, are not merely the receptacle of scattered monuments commemorating the halting places of the Continental or British troops. Nor is the Wayside Inn, where Longfellow actually wrote his tales, a bit of forgotten fiction. Without attempting to catalogue the various trips in this vicinity the CRIMSON would merely try to open men's eyes to the many delightful ways...
