...notice with pleasure the formation of a "Harvard Athletic Association." It supplies an evident need, and deserves hearty support and encouragement from us all. The best way to encourage the new association is to increase its roll of membership. The fear of assessments we are assured need deter none, as they promise to be very small, and will grow smaller as the number of members increase. It is a well-learned lesson of our defeat at Saratoga, that we must make contests at home, if we would have champions abroad, and another year, we trust, will bring laurels to Harvard...
...equal to any other," with the patriarchal state that existed among our distant Aryan forefathers. In the latter, each individual found a place allotted him which he was expected to fill with fidelity and loyalty, and in which, "while true to his position, each had his function and his support."

Our entry in the single-scull race, Mr. Devens, pulled a very good race, taking into account the time...
With pleasure we drop this whole unprofitable question, having said only what we considered necessary in support of the position taken by Harvard. The unpleasant things we have considered it our duty to say are not directed against Yale, but against the unadvised conduct of its representative, in rebuking whom we are confident a large party of Yale men would join us, although the Courant sees fit to excuse him by the use of most dangerous casuistry...
