...consider the peculiar position in which we are placed, and lend their assistance. If any men intend to try at all, they should not put off training until the spring. That would be a risky experiment, as well as being unfair to those who go to work in the autumn. Three years of victory - earned by perseverance and energy - ought to set a fitting example for those who would win in future...
...another page, and it will be seen that in two events our best previous records were surpassed. The sports were, in the main, creditable, but there were not as many new contestants drawn out as could have been wished. To be sure, the time for training in the autumn is short, and the greater attractions of football and rowing take away some men's attention from the Athletic meetings; but this cannot wholly explain the poor exhibition made by some of the contestants.

It was during this game that Harvard's captain had his leg broken. On October...

The necessity of having some system by which the Captain of the 'Varsity can have an opportunity of selecting his crew from the greatest number of possible candidates in the autumn is recognized by every one, and it seems as though the system on trial this year will be satisfactory. The impetus given to rowing last spring proved the success of basing the contest on class feeling, and it is to be hoped that this may be increased by the race...
