...characteristics of the college paper are joined two evils which must be weighed in forming any just estimate of its worth and usefulness. The first evil is that the student's editorial duties are likely to exhaust his energies, and thus to unfit him for his regular college work. .... The other danger to which the young editor is exposed is that of forming a faulty style...
Jarvis, to be sure, seems as fur from being ready for use as ever. Such a piece of botch-work as all the so-called repairs on this field have been is not often seen. A meeting at Beacon Park, however, would be much better than no meeting at all, and would serve to keep alive the interest in athletics. Will not the officers of the H. A. A. consider this matter...
...source of satisfaction to see that a good deal of interest was manifested last year in the hitherto much neglected study of Elocution. The Faculty should hasten to supply the place of Professor Baxter by some one who will keep alive that interest, as the work in this department is too much for any one man to do alone.

This would necessitate keeping it heated during the winter...
...would be inconsistent with the usual ordering of fate for one college to win all the victories that are to be won on land and river in one year.

The men from New Haven pulled a plucky race, and stuck to their work manfully, though they could not have had any hopes of winning after the first mile of the regatta. They came in 44 2/5 sec. behind the Harvard crew, but even then their time (21 min. 29 sec.) beats Yale's winning time at Springfield...
