...Varsity teams to cope with those of Yale on fair and equal terms, and is unworthy of Harvard men. The matter hinges now on the suitability of the Thames course for a triple race. Therefore let a meeting of the freshman class be called at once by the proper officers, in view of the general feeling of dissatisfaction which has been openly expressed, and put the question of reconsideration. If that is carried, and we sincerely trust for the honor of the college that it will be, then we suggest that a committee of three be appointed, consisting...
...regards class feeling in the early part of the course, it is proper and necessary to speak of hazing; and a very few words will suffice.

While the older French and German schools at Athens have been maintained for many years by the liberality of the two governments which founded them, we are proud to feel that we have a never-failing source of beneficence, richer and wiser in its liberality than...
