...receiving the challenge. Cornell has not yet recovered from the evil effects of the management of her papers during the last years of the Intercollegiate races at Saratoga, and now seems to be relapsing. To charge a sister college with mean subterfuges and "sporting dodges" argues a very low sort of spirit indeed, and we hope to see no more of such criticisms. It does not speak very well for the Editors of the Era that they should so misinterpret...
...prospects were anything but encouraging; there were but few men trying for positions, and scarcely any life was shown in the matter. It was very largely owing to the interest he took in the crew that more applicants presented themselves, and that the men were brought into some sort of shape.

We hope that it will have such a hearty support as to justify its repetition another year. The students in German thus far have not encouraged anything of the sort. An excellent course in reading at sight last year attracted but few, and therefore was not given again this year. It is true that students are not as well acquainted with German as with French; yet if all who would find these readings of profit should attend, there would...
