...time less than 50 lives have been returned to the Secretary, every member of the class of 1902 is urged to fill out the blanks as soon as possible, for unless they come in at a faster rate it will be impossible to get out the report by next autumn. Any member of the class who has not received blanks, or having received them has lost or destroyed them, will kindly notify the Secretary at once...
...Defeat of Tammany," by William French Wilbour '96, is an interesting sketch of some features of political campaigning in New York during the past autumn. "'Soapy' Smith," by B. Wendell, Jr., and "The Hoboes' Congress," by L. M. Crosbie, are the two stories of the issue. Neither one has enough incident and movement to make it especially interesting.

...work of the following year was very similar, excepting that all the autumn rowing was done in eights and under the auspices of the two clubs. In the spring the old form of class crews was done away with and instead each club had its set of class crews. Each pair of class crews raced together to decide which should represent the class as a whole, and the winning crews raced just before Easter. The programme for the University squad was exactly the same in 1900 as in '99, both in Cambridge and New London. Unfortunately the Harvard crew...
