...matter was dropped. It is not at all probable that the Cambridge men can raise sufficient funds to come over here; in fact a letter received not long ago from a wellknown boating man there admits this fact. The same condition of affairs undoubtedly exists at Oxford. The only thing that remains to be done is to send a crew over there. In reference to the race, Mr. Stevenson, president of the Yale navy, said: "Personally I am very much in favor of the proposed race. I think it would be a good thing for Yale, and it would...
...only the relative standing of one individual as compared with another, but also the relation of every part of the individual to every other part. The same man may be above the normal in one measurement, and below in another. The extent of the variation is the desirable thing to know. In one instance this variation might not exceed the physical limits; in another it might result in a deformity.

If the affair was nothing but a practice pull, it would be a good thing, but it has ceased to be that.

The boat club would do well...
...that the smallest of the sums named is large for a poor man. It may be believed that even after restraint and wisdom are used, Harvard remains the college of the rich. There is much in our circumstances to make it so. An excellent education is unquestionably a costly thing, and to live where many men wish to live calls for a good deal of money. We have it is true, Memorial Hall, which lessens our expense for food, but it costs $150 a year to board here. Our tuition bill each year is $150. The University owns 450 rooms...
