...much of the good playing was done by the new members, and that the "reliables" are responsible for the greater part of the muffing, is, to say the least, very encouraging. The batting of the Nine was certainly very good, and as this has hitherto been considered their weak point, there is cause for congratulation. It is evident that the members will play together much better than the Nine of '74, and will consequently raise their fielding average...
...than in the scienceless centuries of Thomas Aquinas and the schoolmen. It is just this difference of dress and environment which makes the difference between enthusiasm and apathy which their discussion produces; and no greater mistake can be made by our Faculty, as we see it from the undergraduates' point of view, than to suppose that such a surplus of available enthusiasm exists here, that it can much longer be drawn on by those who persist in taking it out of circulation, without endangering the soundness of our whole philosophical treasury...
...Another point has not been noticed enough, that of the want of bathing opportunities. Of the students whose homes are at a distance, few enjoy the luxury, or rather necessity, of a bath without incurring the expense of going to a hotel.

Assuming that it is not philosophy, but the power to philosophize, that students are here taught, - and the distinguished head of our Philosophical Department has often assured us of this, - it becomes...
...Regatta Committee reported a long list of promises for the fulfilment of which the Saratoga Rowing Association had given bonds, which would seem to embrace everything that could be desired. The finish is to be off Ramsdell's Point, so that the start will be on the west side of Snake Hill, in order that more people can see the race and that there shall be no danger of beaching on Ramsdell's Point. The positions of the crews are, numbering from the west shore: 1, Williams; 2, Cornell; 3, Amherst; 4, Bowdoin; 5, Brown; 6, Columbia; 7, Wesleyan...
