...necessary for us to ask that the college bell may be rung at these hours, namely, at one o'clock and at four o'clock. As long as our instructors will persist, intentionally or not, in keeping their men over the hour, so long will there be a just claim for this demand, for often the instructor, becoming interested in his work, forgets how rapidly the time flies and does not dismiss the section until his attention is called to the time. But as there seems little chance for any change, as our oft-repeated calls for this ringing...
...which can beat the crews of Yale and Harvard. Having expressed that opinion in 1882 and again in 1883 by challenging each of these universities, and neither of them accepting the challenge, it now challenges any college crew and announces that, if its challenge is not accepted, it will claim the championship of American college rowing, and call upon public opinion to sustain its claim.

In other words, they intent to ignore the claims of the old and tried oarsmen of Harvard and Yale, merely because these latter parties have too many previous engagements to accept the challenge of this last aspirant for aquatic honors. College boat races cost more than any other kind of amateur contests because they make no money in return...
...proposed that all these several boards should meet in one body, and, in connection with the Faculty Committee of athletics, consider all questions which may properly come before it, especially in regard to playing, schedules, etc. Of course, objections are not wanting to this plan, but the supporters claim that a modification of some of the details, if necessary, will make it practicable and, as a need of some such action, will right the numerous defeats which Harvard has suffered where the cause can be assigned to the improper filling of a position by an inferior...
