...from her antagonists and the rest of the race was a mere procession. Columbia's supporters were wild with excitement and cheered their crew most enthusiastically as Harvard gradually fell further in the rear. Harvard men, on the contrary, wore rather sober faces and watched their boat closely to see if anything had happened to cause such a complete inequality between the two crews. The trouble soon became apparent. No. 3, in his efforts to secure a good start, had unshipped his seat and was doing his best to row on the slides. Any one who has rowed can realize...

Whatever embarassment was thus caused to the boat club was occasioned by my neglect and of their embarassment, I shall consider it my only to relieve the boat club by reimbursing...
...which, even last October, almost caused the paper to cease publication. It seemed for a long time as if there was little possibility that the full number of issues of the "Lampoon" would appear this year. All the friends of the paper, however, have been agreeably surprised to see the numbers follow one another in regular succession, so that now, with the Class Day issue, the volume will be complete...
