...Dwight begins by remarking upon the American love for novelty; draws a striking and original comparison between ourselves and the ancient Athenians; touches slightly but exhaustively on the development of Christian civilization, and then in a light and easy transition passes to intercollegiate regattas and Saratoga. We deeply regret it, but Mr. Dwight's graphic description of the race leads us to the reluctant conclusion that he had been there himself. He then gives a truthful description of the homeward progress of the victorious crew, referring but slightly to the esoteric or Yalensian interpretation of the Cornell slogan. After...

It is with regret that we notice that the writer thereof is evidently not in the editorial department; for we read, among other book reviews, that "a book of poems which have appeared in the Harvard Advocate is soon to make its appearance. From what we have seen of Harvard poetry we judge that it will be a work of considerable merit, and hope that the edition of the Advocate intend to have some of their exchanges with copies...
