...hard-worked Crew and Nine to be able to assign a large proportion of their work to the first half-year, as a good part of their time is spent during the spring on the river and the field. The consequences of the new rule are evident. Either the honor men will fail in their examinations, and the crew will neglect their electives, or both will overwork themselves and injure their health. We cannot see how the former privilege could injure a student or the standard of scholarship in the College, and we should like to urge upon the Faculty...
...hour a fortnight, in common. If the student, in laying out his college course, has planned to take these two electives in his Senior year, what is he to do? Is it not better to take them both, even with the inconvenience about recitation, than to give up either entirely?

If this move falls through, either owing to the inertness of the H. A. A. or the unwillingness of the fellows to train, then athletics are indeed in a desperate way, and had better be dropped altogether rather than straggle on as they do. Let us then, for our own sake, either make a vigorous effort...
Yale. - Kennedy of Yale will not go to Watkins, either as a sculler or with a crew, owing to business matters. His absence will be regretted by all who are interested in rowing, as he is probably the finest amateur sculler in the country, and in event of winning at Watkins, would ably represent both America and his college at Henley, and give the English scullers all they could do to get away from...
