Shortly after seven o'clock, Prof. Ames, the President of the society, took the chair, and said it was with regret he was obliged to state that the expenses of the society were larger than the business. Two years ago, a superintendent had been engaged for three years, at a salary of $1200 per annum, to run the business of the society, as it was greatly in need at that time of an active manager. This was a great expense ; and now room rent has to be added to it, as after this year the society cannot occupy its preset...
...with infinite regret and not a little shame that we chronicle the approaching death of the Harvard Cooperative Society, just when several of the largest colleges in the country are following what seemed the example of our success.

Although many of us do not fully agree with the lecturer's conclusions on the great subject of protective tariffs, we nevertheless recognize the ability and eloquence...
...paid coach; we still consider Col. Bancroft the most available man for the position from his long experience and active interest in Harvard boating; we still feel sure that the course of the faculty will be injurious for the present to our crew, and on that account we regret it. Recognizing, however, the fact that the good name of our University is dearer to all of us than success in any boat race ever can be, we decline to open a discussion which will only give publicity to the disgrace which befell Harvard in the races of last June...
