...MORROW, at three o'clock, the new athletic contests take place on Jarvis Field. It is hoped that every one will make this first result of the new project as successful as possible by being present. The President of the Association has lately received a letter from Mr. Blaikie of '67, expressing much interest in the scheme of athletic contests and stating it as already certain that more prizes will be offered for such contests at the meeting of the Colleges next summer. Mr. Blaikie's belief in the use of such exercises is shown by the remark...
...Commons, or rather the Harvard Dining-Hall Association, which has now been in existence more than three weeks, gives, on the whole, general satisfaction. The result of what was virtually an experiment must be extremely gratifying both to the Corporation and to the students; and, as the cost of preparing the Hall for the club was upwards of thirty thousand dollars, it is to be expected that the Corporation will see to it that no falling-off shall occur in the present arrangements.

Our author concludes, then, that "at best liberty is not progress. It is a condition of progress. Its worth depends upon its use." And, though wealth be the result of our system, yet "wealth is not an end in itself; like liberty, it is a means...
...this unfortunate arrangement is due the disastrous result of the race. Could Harvard and Yale have been separated by even a single place, it is probable a fair test of superiority might have been obtained. The four crews between whom the race really lay - Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Wesleyan - soon after the start drew ahead, and the order named was that of the first mile and a half. Harvard had been steadily drawing up on Columbia, until, at the mile and a half point, she had lapped the Columbia boat. According to the account of our crew, Yale, who had meanwhile...
