...when so regarded, the numerous reports of the past year seem to establish one thing and that not very startling. President Lowell once likened a college community to a cross-section of the outside world. Such would seem to be the consensus of opinion of the statisticians although they seldom state it thus. In short, Harvard, or Wisconsin, or Yale,--or any University of like size, -- can not be called a "rich man's college," or a poor man's college or even a middle class college without violating the full character of the community. All classes-financially, morally, intellectually...
...shall the balance be redressed? The writers of the prize essays are at some pains to suggest definite things that might be done. One of them is "more celebrations in connection with our illustrious graduates." One seldom hears mentioned the names, for instance, of Emerson, Longfellow, Summer, or Thoreau. Even Lincoln's birthday went by without any observance. The point here is that the undergraduate would be led to note the absence of names of men of athletic fame in the past, and to reflect upon the significance of it. Then the more intellectual clubhouses might be made to rival...

From a man who does not carry interest and conviction in his work, a club of boys will seldom derive much benefit, and it is frequently a mistake for such a man to continue.

...came up, and going into the lead, was never headed. At the hlf-mile flag, Cornell lead by a length, and at the mile by two lengths, rowing fairly easily. It was in the last mile that the victors gave an example of smoothness and power that has probably seldom been equalled. The stroke was put up to 42 as compared with Harvard's 38, and the lead was opened out until Cornell crossed the line in 10 minutes and 29 seconds, 22 seconds ahead of Harvard...
Today there compete against Harvard on the track and river representatives of three great universities -- Cornell, Pennsylvania, and Princeton. It is seldom that two such athletic events are scheduled for the same day, and to the lover of clean, hard sport nothing can be more pleasing than to welcome these visitors to Cambridge...
