Jarvis, to be sure, seems as fur from being ready for use as ever. Such a piece of botch-work as all the so-called repairs on this field have been is not often seen. A meeting at Beacon Park, however, would be much better than no meeting at all, and would serve to keep alive the interest in athletics. Will not the officers of the H. A. A. consider this matter...
WHILE the splendid victory of the Columbia crew in England is still fresh in the public mind, we would strongly urge the advisability of arranging a race between Harvard and one of the English Universities. We feel sure that the feeling of the college is strongly in favor of such a race, especially as the crew of this year will contain seven of the old oars of last year's boat. With such a crew there would be a good prospect of wiping out our former defeat by Oxford. The requisite funds to send an eight to England could doubtless...

But Cornell, encouraged by the cheers of the crowds of her friends along the shore, rallied wonderfully soon to recover her lost lead. At the finish she was four lengths ahead, her time for the three miles being 17 min. 13 3/4 sec.; that of Harvard...

Everything presents such a rude contrast to the things we had become accustomed to during the summer. In a week or two, to be sure, we have dropped into the old ruts, and are going along as smoothly as if we had never been away, but for the first few days everything seems strange...
...Freshman is a study. Somehow everybody knows that he is a Freshman, although he is quite sure he has fold nobody. It has been well said of him that he is "among us, but not of us." He is in a probation or transition state, - in a sort of Purgatory, as it were. No soft electives or voluntary recitations for him, but instead of that a hard grind on his prescribed mathematics. Yet there is justice in all things; it is right that the Freshman should have three hours more of work than the Senior...
