...champion" college crew. What the "championship" has to do with it is not very clear. If Cornell considers herself the "champion" of American colleges, she is perfectly welcome so to do, and no one will care to dispute her title. Harvard has now beaten Yale for two consecutive years in an eight-oared race; therefore Yale is out of it entirely as far as the "championship" goes. Columbia she has also defeated in eight-oars. Cornell has beaten Harvard twice in six-oars, and our Freshman crew last year in an eight-oar. As far as the eight-oar "championship...
...sincerely trust not; in this country of "champion pie-eaters," "champion walkers," etc., etc., we should hope that no gentleman or set of gentlemen would aspire to be called "champion" anything. As we understand it, Harvard proposes to send her eight, as Columbia did her four last year, merely as a college enterprise, and, without any regard for "championships" or "representative" college crews, to try if either of the English colleges can do in 1879 what they succeeded in doing in 1869.

An exception may be made of Monday morning, when Mr Beck, of Beacon Street, refreshed by his devotions at Trinity, takes the nine-o'clock car, to the great delight of his parents, - and then plays tennis...
...first of December the "College Chronicle" of the World will enter upon the third year of its existence. Over a hundred weekly issues have now appeared, so that the enterprise can no longer be called a novelty. It is not inappropriate for us to express publicly our sense of obligation to the World for the interest always manifested in matters at Harvard. Still we must confess, that, however accurate its information in regard to doings at other colleges, those at Harvard have not always been correctly reported. When the World has, by some means or other, obviated this fault, there...
...Watson was first called on, and was heartily cheered, as were all who spoke. Mr. Close, the coach for three years of the Cambridge, England, University Crew, expressed the pleasure he had had as an old oarsman in seeing our crew row, and he considered it a very good one. Captain Bancroft, in an appropriate speech, presented Mr. Watson with a bronze vase, given him by the crew as an expression of their gratitude toward him. Mr. Roberts then rose, and proposed that a letter be sent to Oxford and to Cambridge by the Secretary, unofficially, asking if they would...
