...budding writer, may be called, by a metaphor as true as it is homely, "veal." But this is one of the things impossible. The little bird, seeing its parent flying from bough to bough, thinks it can do the same. Having found itself strong enough for the slight use of its limbs required within the narrow bounds of the nest, it confidently makes trial of its strength in the air. But, alas! the failure. Not till then does it learn its own weakness. The retirement of the study is well enough so far as it goes, but there is nothing...
...paper, named to represent our distinctive outward manifestation, designate itself by the uneuphonious name of "The Crimson"! It would be infinitely worse than "The Dark Blue." So, as the point is settled that the color is to be Magenta, let us have none other. Let our crew make the slight change which would be necessary in their handkerchiefs, from dark crimson to true magenta; and if our Freshmen represent Harvard, let the cherry be discarded. The fraction of the community even in our very midst which recognizes a magenta, pure and simple, is not amazingly large. It is very agreeable...
...Reds," but also their first defeat at the hands of an amateur organization, and the result will no doubt be of great benefit to both, encouraging Harvard, while, if nothing more, impressing Boston with a sense of the "glorious uncertainty" of Base Ball. The day was cold, the attendance slight, and yet the game was one of unusual interest; the presence of the "veterans" Bush, Wells, and McKim in the field adding not a little to the pleasure of both spectators and players as well as to the success of Harvard.

It contains one or two good "heavy articles," interesting extracts from the diary of a young surveyor, some slight abuse of the Faculty, and a copy of verses called "Dished," which would indisputably prove - if there were no other evidence - that the study of the mere exact science is not favorable to the spirit of poetry. In the course of eight verses the poet informs us that he has been dropped from '75 to '76. "Would that the Faculty had been more merciful!" say the readers...
...Burry, '74, Riggs, '76, Swift, '74, cox. The second crew were Wetmore, '75, str., Appleton '75, Goodrich, '74, Harding, '74, Weld, '76, Prince, '75, Devens, '74, cox. This race was quite exciting. Wheeler's boat drew the inside, but Wetmore gave such a telling stroke as to keep a slight lead up to the boat-house; but in rounding the curve his crew lost, enabling Wheeler's crew to turn the stake first. Despite a tendency to exchange oars at the stake, the boats were impeded but a moment, and came down the course in good style. Wheeler's boat...
