...race won by a runner who was a full yard behind. A man 20 or 25 yards away knows nothing at all about a close finish, and the camera knows no more than the man. The writer of this article sat five yards behind the finish line, and thought Sherrill had won, but he has had too much experience to advance such an opinion against the decision of a judge who stood exactly on the line, and had his eye on the tape. - Spirit of the Times...
...partial extenuation of the treatment '89 received at New Haven. We should like to ask our E. C's. unbiassed opinion on garrulous coaching as exhibited by the Yale nine on Saturday. We only had one coach, and Yale had two; but what is "garrulity" in Cambridge, may be thought necessary coaching in a different climate: how is it neighbor...

The article while differing materially from ordinary undergraduate work, shows that real thought is among us, and that such thought can be clearly stated. But Mr. Santayana's sonnet, again, is not equal to his usual work. Many of the lines are strong, but the strength is hardly carried to the end. "A Study in Catullus," by Mr. H. G. Bruce, is probably, from an artistic point of view, the best piece of student literary work which has been published at Harvard for years...
