...little doubt of the result of yesterday's university race over the Thames course at New London was felt on the part of those men at college who take sufficient interest in boating matters to follow closely the criticisms of the several college crews which from time to time appear in the college press, and in the boating reports of the principal daily papers. From both these sources the only impression that could be gained was that the university crew which Columbia sent to the Thames this year was, at best, of no greater strength and skill than those which...
...result of yesterday's race, however, is but a fresh example of the little reliance which can be placed upon estimates of a crew's efficiency which are based only upon the reports of its performances prior to the decisive contest. The crew which represented the Blue and White in this season's race is one of which Columbia may well be proud, and our own crew, too, has every reason to congratulate itself upon its success in crossing the finish in the lead, for its opponents proved themselves, by their splendid rowing, to be no unworthy rivals...
...Dartmouth takes us to task for the prediction which we expressed a few weeks ago as to the result of the Dartmouth Harvard games. The remark was to the effect that to win the championship we must consider ourselves sure of the Dartmouth games. If these were lost, we should not have even a chance for the championship.

We do not know exactly what definition the word "egotistical" may have at Dartmouth, but it is certainly...
...question of this kind much can be said on both sides. Although it seems to us that the ringing of the bell had better be abolished, as it does but little good to the students and occasions much annoyance to the residents of Cambridge, we believe the result will show that the ringing of the bell is a matter of indifference, let us say Harvard indifference, to most men. If this is the case, let the ancient custom be abolished at once, It is certainly by no means a matter of indifference to the residents of Cambridge, who probably receive...
...course the work in their boat on the river. The crew are all reported as in the best of health except Mumford, who has a slight cold, contracted while in Cambridge, but not at all serious. Saturday two rows were taken, one of these on time, but the result was not made public. On Saturday afternoon, the Columbia crew, who are also at the river, came up and called on Harvard. Captain Meikleham and Captain Perkins agreed to invite Mr. F. G. Brown, of the Nassau Boat Club to act as referee at the coming race between Columbia and Harvard...
