...professional oarsmen, will uphold them." To resort to professional methods for obtaining a title seems very objectionable; to resort to the same means to make a race, which could be obtained, if at all, by the usual methods known to collegians, seems the worst possible taste. While every effort is being made at present to illuminate the objectionable professional taint from college athletics, for Pennsylvania to make a move in the opposite direction is a blot on her reputation which she should hasten to wipe out by withdrawing her manifesto...
...considered. Harvard has held the inter-collegiate cup for four consecutive years, and one more victory by us this spring will make it ours. But since some of our best men graduated in '83, and, moreover, the material in the other colleges is better than usual, every possible effort must be made by us if we are to succeed. Many of the events require long practice before proficiency in them can be attained; hence it is of the utmost importance that men should begin regular training as soon as possible. This can be best done only by organized effort which...
...last year's team left college. Soren, Kip, and Morrison, all winners last year, have left a great gap to be filled by new men.

And this is looked upon as the last triumph of athletic science and skill. I tell you it is time to call halt! when the boasted progress in athletics is in the direction of fraud and deceit...
...affairs at Memorial Hall just now is very encouraging-for the managers. The ball is so well filled that the association does not desire any more members. The question is cannot something be done for those who are at present being refused? Ought not the association to make every effort to accommodate them? We are informed by the catalogue that students can obtain board at Memorial Hall, and most of us have shaped our expenditure accordingly. It is, therefore, very inconvenient to go elsewhere. Would it be possible to put in any more tables, and if not impossible ought...
