EDITORS HARVARD HERALD - Dear Sirs: The treasurer of the crew has gone to New London, and the crew still needs one thousand dollars to pay its debts. The treasurer has done his best and can do no more, and it lies with the college whether they will place the crew out of debt or not. There is certainly one thousand dollars in college which could be subscribed to the crew without serious inconvenience to the subscribers, and I hope it will be done.

We expect them to make a desperate...
...great deal of interest has been excited of late as to whether precedent entitles any incumbent of the governor's chair to a degree; and , in this connection, it is interesting to note, especially with regard to the present governor, what the custom of Harvard has been hitherto. The first honorary degree of LL. D. that Harvard ever gave, was conferred on General Washington, for "his eminent services in the cause of his country and to this society." The first governor who had a degree was James Sullivan in 1807-8; but it is noteworthy that down...
