Heretofore there has never been reason to doubt the efficiency of these representatives of Harvard musical taste and skill, and to them, now, the future can only offer opportunities for greater triumphs. In recognition of their labors, it is hoped that not only a good audience but a crowded house will greet them in Sander's Theatre next Wednesday evening. What better way can there be to support a college institution, than by contributing to that which will return four-fold in pleasure. Let every man then show, by his presence at Sander's, that he appreciates the musical skill...

...idea is, of course, an excellent one and has often been pleaded for, and sometimes with skill and enthusiasm, and by men eminently qualified to speak of the subject; as by President White, of Cornell, before the National Educational Association in 1874. But the plan, I fear, will never be successfully carried out before another thing is done. What we need as yet is not so much the university as the student.

...they have really pledged themselves to their college to spare neither work nor time in doing everything that will enhance their chances of winning this race. '85 and '87 both won their freshman races, and, if there is anything in precedent, '89 should win next year. A reliance upon skill and strength, however, will be found to be more useful than precedent when they come to the start next June, and it is the duty of the Boat Club to see that they are possessed of both.
