From all appearances, the class races this year will be very evenly contested. The freshmen are rowing better than is usual for this time of the year. It is impossible to say which of the other three crews has the best chance of winning. The senior crew is made up as follows...
...always be of service in after life. The assertion is made that those who are training for some athletic team are "entitled to the preference in the gymnasium and elsewhere" and that those who have only good health in view are "Crowded out and become discouraged." We venture to say that anyone who could make such an assertion as that can never have visited the Hemenway gymnasium on a winter afternoon, or have seen one of the many "scrub matches in baseball and football, which take place every year...
...majority of the committee of the overseers appointed to consider the letics say in their report that during the last year ninety-four contests took place costing $25,000.

There are due to the greater capacity and productive of the laborer. Now, if tariff does not make high wages, a reduction does not make low. If this were so, this is just what the manufacturers would want. The trouble is it would reduce not wages but profits. With raw materials free, the cotton and every trade would be extended and wages would not fall certainly...
