...LETTER from New Haven to a New York paper about the Yale crew says that some feeling exists at Yale about "the statement that Harvard is boasting that all that is wanted in the next race by Harvard is to see how much Yale's time can be beaten." Now we wish to assure our Yale friends that the statement referred to is false. Harvard never has made that silly boast, and does not intend to. She knows the uncertainty of the chances of boat-races too well to feel sure of anything except that she will try her best...

Only the longest experience will enable a man to calmly draw near that fatal threshold and unmoved send up his petition. Again, some of us, especially now in the semiannuals, cannot afford...
...themselves experienced the difficulties attendant upon a midyear grind would so far appreciate the " demnitionness" of it as to allow others privileges they may choose to deny themselves. At twelve o' clock P. M., with the prospect of four hours' steady work before me, and with the (at another time) joyful sound of revelry in the room below me, I waive all respect of persons, and protest against the fiends of the north entry of Matthews, who prevent my neighbors and myself from doing necessary work. I had supposed, it seems fallaciously, that we were all bound by certain feelings...
