...were heartily glad when Yale challenged Cornell, for we earnestly wished to row a return race with the men who beat us so magnificently last spring. But we were also glad to see that Yale had still no wish to compete for any general championship, sticking to her natural rival and making no alliance that could endanger the preeminence of this rivalry. To Harvard we are bound by long series of contests in every branch of sport, by the similarity between the two universities in positions and institutions, by the strong ties of alumni friendships and rivalry...
...poems of Bacchylides, which were discovered in Egypt in January, 1897, have just been published by the British Museum. Bacchylides, who is thus brought to our notice, was a contemporary and rival of Pindar and was considered by the Alexandrian critics as one of the nine greatest Greek lyric poets. Unfortunately his writings have been completely lost for fourteen hundred years and our knowledge of him has been confined to a few fragments quoted by other writers.

But, from an undergraduate standpoint, there is no team which cannot do better work if given the hearty support of the students, and there can certainly be no objection...
Although the club has therefore lacked the two greatest incentives-that of representing their class against the freshman class of a rival university, or against its nearest rival class here, yet the members of the 1900 Freshman Debating Club have worked hard and have accomplished much. Their representatives tonight deserve the support of the whole class as much as though they were to debate against the class of '99 or against the Yale freshmen...
