...gone beyond the bounds of moderation in restricting its effusions to these peculiar forms, which inevitably fall upon the reader, because only certain turns of idea and expression are possible in them, while the simpler old fashioned straight-away measures allow all themes and all licenses of thought and subject. The majority of appropriate college themes in French metres would find themselves ill at ease when so finely gotten up and would move about in a restrained and over-careful manner. The sad smile of politeness and worn-out gallantry is substituted for substantial good-nature. Appearance is of first...

Whatever was thought to be known about amateur crew rowing ten years ago was supposed to be locked up at Cambridge and New Haven, and when the "potato-digging agriculturists" from Amherst and other "countrymen" pulled away the honors and renown from the scientific "oars" of the great universities, the disappointment was very great. With only two crews in a race the chances of a "win" are far better than with seven...
