Since we are looking at rowing from a scientific point of view, let the men of the present time not only investigate the question of form, but let them go a step farther and solve a more subtle problem, the mutual effects of mind and muscle. Let them study hygiene, and be conversant with the latest hygienic discoveries. By following these suggestions, Harvard would soon become the cynosure of all rowing-men on your side of the Atlantic, and, what is of infinitely more importance, would regain and maintain her supremacy with the least possible expenditure of time and strength...
...York World of last Sunday makes a good point in favor of abolishing compulsory prayers and Sunday worship at Harvard. In an editorial entitled "College Government" it points out that the undergraduate is not looked upon now as he was in the times of our fathers: "The view taken of him heretofore has been that he was not an adult, and that the college, having him under tutelage as well as under tuition, had some responsibility for his behavior.

...seems that an unusual amount of trouble has been caused this year by the old-fashioned feud between Sophomores and Freshmen. We have here a pleasing view of the lion and the lamb reposing peacefully side by side, but other colleges are not so fortunate. The report of the trouble at Williams, if it is true, shows a decidedly disgraceful state of affairs. We shall not moralize upon the terrible enormity of indulging in "cane rushes." This amusement was never popular in Cambridge, and we cannot judge of the pleasure to be derived from it. But the breaking of pledges...
