...most likely to take the deepest interest in the College, and who are best fitted to judge what is for its welfare, - the graduates; we are free from all political influences which stand in the way of advancement in many institutions, and the evils which President Eliot set forth so well in his argument against a National University; we are not governed by a close Corporation which may be tainted with the bigotry of the past ages. All this is very pleasing; but, before we become too boastful, let us remember that it is only ten years that we have...
...content with inserting two pages of advertisements in the body of the paper, the Record devotes a portion of its editorial space to puffing a jewelry manufactory. It is not clear whether the editors set a high value on the merits of the advertisements or a very low value on the merits of the articles.

The races last year were so poor that few went to see them, and so little training had been done that those who rowed were wholly...
...took stroke's lever, - Schwartz going to 6, and LeMoyne, '78, to 4. Bancroft has an inclination to bucket, to screw at the finish, and does not always get his hands out properly. Brigham and LeMoyne, '78, have both improved on the use of their slides. Brigham does not set his shoulders firmly at the catch, and he lets them "give" when he takes hold. At times he fails to get his arms straight at the end of the recover. He also has an awkward habit of sticking his elbows out at the finish. Littaner reaches out too much with...
