...more than a foundation on which the writer bases his many digressions. But it is, nevertheless, amusing, and no one can read of the old landmarks and customs, which have long since passed away, without interest and pleasure. Among other things an "exhibition" day is described with vigor and considerable humor. Unfortunately the work is scarce and is, therefore, the more to be treasured, not especially on account of its literary merit, but for its portrayal of the Harvard life of half a century...
...taking hold of rowing with a vim that bodes well for our success next summer. Commodore Psotta, our veteran sculler. has taken things in hand with even more than his customary vigor. A new era is about to begin in the history of rowing at Cornell. The day of four-oared rowing is over. Perhaps all are not aware that the old intercollegiate association is finally and permanently broken up. To the recent call for a convention, not a single college responded.

It is with no mean descriptive talent that the author has succeeded in tracing the various steps in the dulling of the college man's sensibilities. What is implied-that which one can read between...
...ending in a feeble cloud of smoke. Up to the present time, the career of '91 has given promise of a brilliant future, but if its idea of showing appreciation for athletic victories is to repudiate its debts, it need not be surprised to fine a lack of vigor and energy in the work of both nine and crew. Men who can afford to strut about the college yard smoking Turkish cigarettes and expensive tobacco in handsome meerschaums, bragging of their eleven (the "finest), ought certainly to have the self-respect to meet the expenses of a victorious team...
