...crew seems to have the advantage in some particular, and the result is not likely to be a procession. No crew is thought as yet to be sure for first place, nor are the chances of any crew for that place so small that it is only hoping to save itself from last place. All things taken together, the class crews are to be congratulated on the state of affairs, as it lends more interest to the hard work to be done and reminds each man that only the most faithful attention to duty can secure for his class...
...Memorial. Mr. Silloway said on this subject: "While in England, not long ago, I went to the place where Woodbridge labored and died, and from the records and other sources have obtained, I think, about all the facts that are obtainable in regard to Woodbridge. Up to now, save the work of Mr. Sibley, in the history of the first graduates, I know of no biography of Woodbridge, nor does Mr. Sibley. Wood, in the "Athenae," of course treats of him, but in a very limited manner. There is a lamentable ignorance among even Harvard's graduates concerning this their...

President Eliot opened by pointing out that nowhere had reform moved more sluggishly or against greater obstacles than in the alteration of the accepted courses of instruction in institutions of learning. He showed how slowly Greek had obtained admittance to the universities of three hundred years...
...undergraduates seem to differ. It is perhaps desirable, as the faculty appear to wish, to lessen the element of competition. But can the faculty do this and at the same time accomplish what is generally accepted as their aim, viz.: promote athletic interests, or perhaps, rather, to save them? Is there not a direct opposition in the two ideas, lower the competitive element, and support the interests of athletics? It has always seemed to me that competition is the very coundation upon which all athletics rest. Any thrust which diminishes competition will diminish in exact ratio the amount of interest...
