...have arisen from the manifest lack of life which has been the characteristic fault of the crew throughout the latter part of the season. At the outset, the material and prospects were remarkable; the crew in its early stages seemed to be further advanced than last year's eight. Of late the rowing has fallen off, and the crew in its present stage is probably not as good as last year's--not only that, indications are that it is no better than Yale's. This is certainly a revelation, considering the foundation Yale had to go upon--principally last...
Gales Ferry, Conn., June 18, 1909. As the morning was very windy the only crew to leave quarters was the freshman eight.

Vernon Street Church for their generous co-operation in conducting several groups. In addition to the regular work of the department, a course of eight lectures by Professors Platner, Royce, and Peabody was arranged for members of the Law and Graduate Schools upon the subject "The Fundamental Principles of Christianity." The average attendance at these lectures was about 100 men, and they have laid the foundations for establishing branches of the Association in both Schools...
