...breach of duty by Harvard, and not on the merits of any wrangling between captains and coaches. It assumes that the captain of the Harvard crew should have had but one ultimate object in view, and that the rowing of the race; and by not keeping his crew in control, and by yielding to the excitement of the moment, and so forgetting their object, the graduates claim that he laid himself open to their censure. How many men among undergraduates will finally adopt this view remains to be seen, but the graduates' note, it is believed, has settled outside opinion...

...been announced that the corporation has granted to the Tennis Association control of all courts on college grounds. In view of this fact, there can now be no excuse for inactivity on the part of the association. With complete power in its own hands, if it but makes a judicious use of it, the association can prove itself exceedingly useful to the students. Vigorous action should be taken to bring about order out of the chaos that has heretofore ruled in the matter of tennis courts...
