...fortunately to present itself in the Carey Building. Before the demand becomes too pressing might not the baths there be thrown open to general use? True, they would not prove wholly adequate, but better slight than total inadequacy. Students will realize that they are making the best of a bad matter, and will wait patiently for the good that is in store for them when the Gymnasium is completed; while without the Carey baths they will become forcibly and justly impatient...
...official time at the various points of the race was: Half mile-Harvard, 2.18; Yale, 2.20; Columbia, 2.25. First mile-Yale, 4.58; Harvard, 5; Columbia, 5.15. Second mile and finish-Yale, 10.28; Harvard, 10.33; Columbia, 13.18.5. Columbia's bad beat was due to the breaking of Captain Pierrepont's oarlock before reaching the mile flag. Yale pulled uniformly 38 strokes, Harvard 40 to 41, and Columbia 38 to 40 per minute...

For the former position McVey, the freshman, will probably be the man, as Captain Whittemore's ankle is still weak, end Dean has a bad foot, caused by his accidentally spiking himself in the Newton game.

...boat travelled much better than before and the general work of the crew was much improved, though there are still several bad individual faults to be overcome. There is a break in the time at 6, Watriss being unable to get the necessary forward reach, and another break at 4, where Shepard shows an inclination to rush his recover. Hollister just now is naturally a trifle awkward in his new position, but will find little trouble in getting used...
