...instructor in the disease of the nervous system; James Jackson Putnam, M. D., instructor in the diseases of the nervous system; Frederick Eugene Rice, M. D., M. R. C. V. S., instructor in anatomy and materia medica in the veterinary hospital; Edwin Farnham, M. D., lecturer on health and strength, all for 1885-86; and Winfield Scott Chaplin, A.

...giving our best attention to the details of rhythm; we have earnest convictions backed by a strong desire to do our best in maintaining them; we are sufficiently intimate with England to absorb some of her sweetness and light without necessarily losing our own innate fire and strength; so thus far we seem likely to advance in poetical achievement as fast as the other country is giving way. The danger is that the work of our first century of national life will be undone by Anglomania and dilletantism; but, so far as we now can see, that danger threatens only...

...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. From what we have seen of them, they have lots of hard, steady work before...
