...University and Freshman crew squads were formally disbanded yesterday by Coaches Haines and Beane, as it was thought unwise to attempt to continue the rowing in face of the outbreak of war. The boat houses are to remain open, however, and Coach Haines will be on hand every afternoon until further notice to give individual instruction. Shells will be made up and sent out every day at 6.30 o'clock, in order that those Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen who can spare the time may keep up their work in preparation for possible future seasons...
...being an earnest worker for the Illustrated. As in the "Auto Show" number, he has contributed two articles--both unusually interesting and calling for no small degree of of research.

In "From Watch Hill to R. O. T. C.," the part that the University has played in former preparedness movements is out-lined. It comes...

The Sophomores did not put their stroke up until the last four hundred yards, and then it was too late to cut down the open water between the boats...
