...being exhausted. Of the second division Weld rowed in the best form, getting off well at the start and gradually gaining on Matthews. At the first bend about 20 feet of water separated the boats, but at this point Matthews quickened their stroke and seemed to draw away from their pursuers. Weld, however, cut in towards the bank and again began to gain, bumping Matthews as the crews were rounding the curve. Perkins gained rapidly on College-House, and just beyond the first bend, bumped the latter crew. Russell-Ware was never in danger from the Outsiders, but both crews...

The Harvard time was 10 minutes, 47 seconds; Cornell's time was 11 minutes, 24 seconds...
This evening's mass meeting, although without the same dramatic attractions that draw enormous crowds to the Living Room of the Union during football season; is probably the most important affair of the kind that has been held in many years. The meeting has been called for an undergraduate ratification of the committee's proposed student council. It should be remembered that the plan was drawn up with the greatest care after consultation with prominent members of the Faculty and with the Athletic Committee, and that a committee of men who have been in closest touch with athletic affairs...
