...other; at a meeting of neither can business be transacted binding the other; neither is responsible for the debts of the other. It is admitted that the Freshman race will be under the control of the Regatta Committee; it is also true that in general the officers of the U. B. C. often advise the members of the Freshman crew, and make arrangements for their training and races; but these things are done by tacit consent and not by prerogative. The right to refuse to be bound by such arrangements belongs to the Freshmen, and they in the present case...
...Spring Scratch Races of the H. U. B. C. were rowed over the Boat House course, Saturday, May 17. The single scull race was easily won by W. F. Weld, Jr., '76, with D. C. Bacon, '76, a bad second. For the double race there were two entries: F. S. Watson and F. R. Appleton, and C. W. Wetmore and W. Hartwell, all of '75. Hartwell had the misfortune to break his rudder near the start, and the other men came in first with a very pretty stroke. The six-oar race was a very good one. Only two crews...

Several new songs were introduced, which were...
...remember the theatricals at Horticultural Hall, this evening and to-morrow afternoon, for the benefit of the H. U. B. C. The programme for this evening (Friday) is "Your Life's in Danger" and "The Follies of a Night." To-morrow afternoon (Saturday) will be presented the "Virginia Mummy" and the burlesque "Anne Boleyn." The Pierian will furnish more of that excellent music of which we so lately had a specimen at their concert...
...minds of all. What interest or even dignity could attach to a society whose members sat dangling their legs over wooden benches, and the location of whose president, even, suggested nothing more dignified than a proctor eager in the pursuit after "cribs" at a Freshman examination in M. U. No, this truly was not an imposing spectacle; even the excellent singing, so pleasant as a relaxation after the strain of a debate, was insufficient to fill the vast recesses of the hall, and the little band of musical devotees in one corner was a truly touching sight...
