...Third Annual Regatta is a thing of the past. About its results we have but little to say; in fact, too much has been already said. Certain newspapers, with a mistaken friendliness, which we ought, perhaps, to be grateful for, but with a want of delicacy which all must blame, have hotly fought what they considered to be our battle, making Harvard seem dissatisfied with the decision of Mr. Babcock. The fact is that, under the circumstances, there was but one decision to be made, and that was the one which Mr. Babcock made, and no member of the crew...
...that the result of the races was a great disappointment to us would be but a slight expression of the general feeling. To have the cup dashed from our lips when it so nearly touched them makes the defeat the harder to bear. But in such a defeat there is no disgrace, no blame to be attached to any one, as all who saw Harvard's last, grand burst of speed must acknowledge...
...very clear article of Mr. Burgwyn, '73, in the October number of the Old and New, on the Springfield Regatta, contains an account of the successful result of the Harvard Telegraphic Company's experiments on the banks of the Connecticut, - a result beyond the expectation of experienced operators.

The subject of Mr. Burgwyn's article is of so much interest to collegians, that we thought...
...rehearse the advantages said to result when the instructors give a syllabus. Men who have been lazy during the year can see just what questions are to be asked, and by sufficient cramming can get nearly what mark they please, and at any rate escape a condition, the possible and natural result of their laziness. Besides, all students, good and bad, can have their attention brought to the chief points without loss of time and without unprofitable labor in a search after them. The essence of this is that a syllabus at a less cost of labor makes greater returns...
...last four years. "Friday nights the students adjourn from the society meetings (literary) to the Yard, and sing the choruses to such songs as 'Rule Britannia,' 'Cockles and Muscles,' and 'Rumstio.' Sometimes they sing in time and tune, but more often both these important elements are lacking, and the result is anything but musical." Perhaps to so extremely sensitive an ear as our author possesses, our time and tune may seem very bad. It is easy to see that some enthusiastic member of a society, with much voice and deficient musical education, may cause the tune to err slightly...
