...boat-house to watch the different crews at their work on the river. Eight men in a boat, moving backward and forward with machine-like regularity, all with caps corresponding to the colors of their oars, present a fine sight. Each of the three upper class crews entertain great hopes of victory, and take every opportunity to improve its chines of success. These three crews are so evenly matched that it would be rash to prophesy any order in which they will come in. The crew which, during the next week, makes the greatest improvement...

...terms set forth by the faculty. Those conditions were, in the judgment of the faculty, so fair and reasonable that they have not thought it wise or possible to make any change.
