...crew itself, too, deserves a word of commendation. Not a cent was demanded by its captain or its members which was not absolutely necessary, not a dollar was spent either for useless show or added comfort. This certainly is an enviable record-for, as student supporters are apt to forget, the training of a crew is not child's play and calls for care and self sacrifice. Under these conditions surely a little luxury and comfort might have been consistently demanded, but this was not asked. It was a significant sight to the onlookers when the freshman and 'varsity crews...
...Careful use of statistics show higher relative wages under a low tariff. (1) High wages in the United States are set by unprotected industries. Laughlin's note to Mill, p. 619.

(3) Wages in United States higher than abroad before there...

...long and uninteresting game was played on Holmes field yesterday afternoon between the 'varsity nine and the professional Lowell team. So few spectators attended the game that there was some excuse for the utter lack of life which the Harvard team showed. The fielding was by no means clean, and all the infielders made very bad errors. The batting was even weaker, while the coaching was contemptible. At no point in the game did the home team show the slightest energy. In the Yale game on Thursday, Harvard will not have the slightest chance if she plays a game anything...
