...permanent situations for men who are about to leave the University. The college authorities have always done what they could in aiding graduates to get positions as teachers, but now the system has been extended so as to embrace all members of the University and all occupations. Any student whether he wishes to enter the ranks of journalists or of lawyers, or whether he wishes to obtain a situation as a salesman or as a book-keeper, or if he merely desires any work which will help him to earn his living, will receive now, by application to the secretary...
...discovered. As he was greatly interested in athletics he proceeded to investigate the matter. After much research he ascertained the ingredients of the mixture and one day last week resolved to try the compound. The nature of the stimulant is yet a dead secret. It is not even known whether it must be applied internally or externally. Suffice it to say that it produced a marvellous effect and the fastest quarter over run on the fair ground track was the result. Little has been said about the trial of the stimulant but the facts were too startling to be suppressed...
...your article on Yale game you congratulate the College upon the success of "systematic cheering given by the students, and conducted by appointed leaders." For some years I have watched the growth of this method of encouraging a nine or team, and have wondered whether it would or not call out some comment from the students or alumni.

...Harvard has a heavier and perhaps a more muscular crew than Yale. Harvard always sends a fine eight to the Thames. The men are rowing daily, stripped to the waist, and their bodies are as brown as a nut from exposure. Then, too, Harvard men always have good coaching. Whether they win or not, no one can say that there has been a Harvard crew for years that has not rowed handsomely. I saw this year's Harvard eight on Charles river one day last week. They were returning from a long and arduous practice pull, and, although they were...
...Whether Harvard will outrow Yale is another matter. Yale has the advantage this year of an accomplished coach, Perry Bolton. They are a set of large, beefy men, in superb condition, and are pulling about ten miles a day. They are raw and ragged in their work in the boat. Their raggedness, however, is so much more noticeable than Harvard's that I have based my opinion as to Harvard's probable chances upon it. A new coxswain goes in the Yale boat this year. Thompson, a little freshman weighing less than 100 pounds, will take the seat in which...
