Besides it makes a very fair break in the time between January 1st and July 1st. The proposal seems to meet with great favor among many of the undergraduates, and there seems to be no strong reason why it should not be adopted by the faculty.

Of last year's '90 crew, Herrick, the stroke, is now out West, but will be in his old place shortly. Hutchinson, who rowed seven, will also begin right away. Tilton, six, and Slocum, 5, are with the 'Varsity candidates, and Sears, who rowed four at New London, is not a candidate this year. Sanford, who pulled at three...
