Years of literary rivalry and wordy battles have rolled by and at last the editors of the Monthly and Advocate have agreed upon a joint subscription price for both papers. Undergraduates will no longer have to debate which of the two publications is the better one to take for now the price of both is merely a trifle more than the regular price of either publication.

At the beginning of the season the coachers experienced much difficulty in weeding out the material for an eight which would keep up the standard set by Yale in the crews which have been sent to New London in former years. The crew was decided on about the middle of April as follows: Stroke, Soderston...
