...Harvard was beaten by Cornell, both Freshman and University, in 1875 and 1876, and in the Fresh man match of 1878. But her present crew has never been beaten. They defeated Yale and Columbia in 1877, and Yale in 1878, and are acknowledged by all judges of rowing to be one of the best collegiate crews ever seen in America. The history of the crew is unparalleled in the annals of University oarsmen. Bancroft rowed in the Freshman crew of 1875, Bancroft and Jacobs in the University crew of 1876 and in the match with Yale; seven of the eight...
...account of its accuracy and perfect fairness. We question, however, whether the room selected for the meeting, though the same in which previous class elections have been held, is the most convenient in size and shape for that purpose. It necessitates, when a class is as large as the present, much crowding, confusion, and delay at the polls. The earnestness of the Committee to secure an open election, and their zeal in urging such an election upon their classmates, need no higher praise than the universal satisfaction at the result they did so much towards securing...

The disadvantages of the present room, such as the cost of heating, presence of examinations, and proximity to a recitation-room would be avoided, and the Library would have taken one more step towards making...

One young lady writes on the subject, "Has the educated woman a duty towards the kitchen?" and comes to the conclusion that she has. The exchange editress pays her respects to the Courant as follows...
...Index which only last year was so virtuously indignant at the attention paid to athletics at Harvard and Yale? And now they have gone and had a meeting of their own, and found it not so bad after all. One Reverend gentleman acted as Referee and others presented prizes, one of which was in the substantial form of a barrel of apples. The subjects of some of the articles in the present number of the Index are of a very general character, such as "Poetry," "Truth," "Wit and Humor." These subjects are taken up and disposed of in a column...
