...glorious race for which the crew had slaved and denied themselves for nearly nine long months! There are three very good illustrations in the book, taken from photographs. The first represents the '89 crew on the water; the second, the crew waiting for supper in the little lounging cabin before Captain Molthrop's house; and the third, the Yale-Columbia-Harvard race, taken just before Yale sank. The credit for this charming souvenir of a battle well fought and gloriously won, is due to Mr. E. C. Pfeiffer, '89, a "Port Oar," as he modestly terms himself. We desire...
...play. The party left New York on the Fall River boat on Wednesday afternoon. At 6 P.M. a special supper was served on the boat, the "Bristol," for the Hasty Pudding men, after which they entertained themselves and the passengers by several songs, and banjo selections in the after-cabin.

To provide them with such luxuries for a three week's stay in a secluded cabin on the bank of the Thames River at New London, seems altogether unnecessary. It indicates a looseness in the handling of the crew money, which it would be well to investigate more closely. No insinuation against the present manager is implied, but a protest against the habits of lavish expenditure...
