...marked victory is peculiarly gratifying to Harvard. Although the charge that the Harvard crew, after defeating the Yale crew in such a fast race, was afraid to row Columba, last year, was a preposterous one, still we fear that there were many men from the New York college whose hopes so warped their judgment that they almost believed it. Such men will be relieved by the race just rowed. They will no longer be troubled by perplexing guesses at "what might have been." Of course our defeat this year would not have been an acknowledgement of fear last year...
...were the pitching of Fish, the right field play of Lovering and the beautiful stop of a hot ball off Hackett's bat in the seventh inning by Baker.

But, for all that, there was no disorderly conduct in the yard, and the stories that have been told of riotous conduct on the part of the future alumni were...
...reputation at once as a scholar, a thinker and a popular writer. This last qualification is by no means to be despised. Young students are much more likely to become enthusiastic about a teacher who is widely known to the great reading public than about one whose reputation has not travelled beyond common rooms, and whose fame rests on unread papers in the transactions of some learned society. - [St. James' Gazette...
