With these results the ratio of men making the Dean's List in the different classes remains almost the same as at Mid-years. At that time, 24.9 percent of the Senior Class received this honor, together with 18.4 percent of the Juniors, 13.2 percent of the Sophomores, and 13.9 percent of the Freshmen...

Here the water grew rougher, and although both crews dropped the stroke to a 30, the Crimson eight continued to draw gradually ahead, and held its lead in the final sprint, covering the mile and 5-16 in 7 minutes 7 seconds. The engineers were clocked at 7 minutes 25 seconds...
