Among the latest acquisitions are some large tree ferns, which stand from six to fifteen feet high. A large Cycas palm is now at that stage when both old and new leaves and the fruit are shown. A tall bamboo tree overtops all the rest of the plants. One fern which was brought from Australia some years ago now measures over four feet in diameter at the base. Among the smaller ferns are very beautiful specimens of the golden and the silver ferns and many varieties of the maiden hair fern...
...glad to publish this morning an extract from an article written concerning Harvard by Mr. Hurlbut. The writer treats the subject of Harvard indifference in its broader sense admirably. In a clear, strong, convincing manner he shows how false is the popular opinion that Harvard men stand off from their fellows and are unwilling to enter heartily into the plans and interests of others.

Individual worth probably counts for more at Harvard than at any university...

...disappointing. The breaking of an outrigger at No. 4 in the university boat may offer some excuse for this, but even when this accident happened the sophomores were leading. Owing to the action of the faculty in prohibiting two members of the '98 crew from rowing, because of low stand, the sophomores were compelled to default to '97, who easily beat the freshmen and won the regatta. An unusual feature was the entrance of six novice crews, who rowed for banners given by the university management. These were won by the "Coystrel Crew" from the sophomore class...
...tickets will admit owners to all of the seats except those in the new grand stand which has been built opposite the running broad jump and which will seat about 500. Admission to this will be fifty cents extra. The CRIMSON will have a bulletin board in the middle of the field on which the score of Harvard-Princeton games will be given by innings...
