...wreaths of laurel and farming implements could be awarded to the victors, while to each of the vanquished, as a compensation for the disappointment, an elegant chromo and a copy of Vick's Floral Guide might be presented. Also the land in the rear of the Scientific School, if proper attention were paid to it, might be induced to become the abode of the sweet-smelling onion, the cabbage, and the beet, - the last-named, however, will not need to be cultivated, for deceased members of its family already abound in Cambridge, - instead of being used for foot-ball matches...

They distract the attention of the workmen from their proper business and are in the way of the students, beside bringing the latter in closer contact than is desirable with the mysteries of professional oarsmanship. It should be understood that the boat-house was built for the students, and not to serve as a boating exchange...
