Complaints have lately been uttered about the delay suffered by various persons in ordering books and other articles through the Co-operative Society. Upon investigation, it seems to us that substantial grounds for this dissatisfaction do exist. An order was kept at the office in which members duly wrote their commissions, but in the delivery the precedence of names has not always been followed, and the articles on hand have been distributed without reference to person. In this manner some have received undue preference, and others are clamorous against the unbusiness-like method which has been followed. So long...
...postals I sent out last week asking for your permanent addresses, a large number remain unreturned to me.

Mr. Chalfant then explained the reasons for the delay in justification of the action of the boat club. A motion was then carried that unless the race was rowed by 3 P. M. Friday...
...because of late years, since the champion scullers of '80 left, we have had little or no sculling. Today, there will be neither the junior nor senior events in single sculling. The time announced for starting is 10.30 A. M. Owing to the extra efforts of the committee the delay of previous years will probably be obviated. Those who have tickets to the Union boat-house should be present at an early hour if they wish to procure good seats...
