...long as the barges can be used by all members; but when the crews commence going out in the afternoon, then the number of boats is too small. Unless one happens to have rowed before, and has some skill in handling the oar, - unless one, in fact, is on either of the crews, - it is nearly impossible to get any boat whatsoever in the afternoon. The barges are required for the crews, and only the double and single sculls are left for the use of the thirty or forty other men in each club...
This crowding in the afternoon can be done away with either by increasing the number of boats or by having fixed hours during which the barges are to be used by nobody except the crews. The first remedy, of course, if practicable, removes the necessity of the second; if it is not practicable, as probably will be the case, by having the crews use the barges between 5 and 7, ten more men will have an opportunity of rowing between 3 and 5. Last autumn, when the crews were training, no ten men at 3 o'clock would take...

Any one observing the number of fellows hastening back from Memorial Hall between ten or fifteen minutes after the breakfast hour begins, must come to one of two conclusions, - either that there is next to nothing fit to eat on the bounteously spread tables in the grand Alumni Dining Hall, or else that the students are guilty of the bad habit of Americans of rapid eating.

...less additional expense, which very rarely returns an equivalent. The Beacon Cup was given originally as a prize for class crews, but there is no reason why its purpose should not be changed, as has been done with the Graduates' Cup, and be offered to club crews. In either case these cups are an incentive to good oarsmanship, and that is their sole object. This plan, it is urged, does not allow the Freshman crew any opportunity of entering our college races. If intercollegiate Freshmen contests are to be permanent, which we think quite unlikely, our Freshman crew could...
...Captain of the University Crew has sent out lists of daily training to the different applicants. The list includes one thousand strokes at the weights, and either a four-mile run or a two-mile walk...
