...YALE graduate of several years' standing sends us a letter treating of the proposed Freshman race at New London, which will be found in another column.

It is evident that it is not closed by the President's Report. He has shown, to be sure, that the results of the present system...
...dull season? A course could be easily laid out, on Fresh Pond or some other neighboring water, of say a straight quarter-mile, and races of a mile, half-quarter, hundred yards, etc., could be easily given. If the H. A. A. will do so, the editor of this column will give a $ 10 cup for a race of quarter-mile heats, best two in three. Such a race should furnish good sport, and fast time would doubtless be made...
