...example by the class of eighty-eight cannot be passed by with silence. Before many months the seniors will be gone and it will devolve upon eighty-nine to continue the labors which have been begun so courageously and borne so faithfully. There is in this change all the stamina of a movement which has right upon its side and its power is one which cannot lessen, but must increase with every day. There are times in the affairs of men when resolutions are necessary. At such times those who adhere to the past, perish miserably. We are living...

...that gained laurels for Harvard in '77, '78 and '79. There is a weedy look about some of the men, and a suggestion that their muscle is too much of a forced growth, that they are rather hot-house products than men naturally of great power and stamina. Strong men they are undoubtedly, men who can pull four miles at a good pace, but despite the fact that five rowed in last year's crew, they have not yet gained a thoroughly seasoned look...
