...present situation in a business like way, and he may be sure of the heartiest support. Of the undergraduate principle, there is practically nothing to be said against it. Graduate students have not, as a rule, the time to give to athletics which the captaincy of a team demands. Even if they had time it is much better that the captains of the teams should come from the college, for the college is the real centre of the athletic activity. We look upon this decision of the committee with regard to undergraduate captains, as another step along the line...
...Hopkinson Smith gave the second lecture of his course last night on the subject of Out-door Sketching before an audience even larger than that of the night before. He said that every artist has his own ideas on out door work, and therefore what any one man can say must be rather his own ideas than a general treatment of the subject. Of course there are certain fixed laws of color and perspective, but as to how these may best be applied there is room for much dispute...

To an expert a painting done on different days is a perfect almanac. So the artist must work quickly. His strokes must be accurate and he must know that they are right. Such little details as time...
...have heard from good authority that the freshmen are not giving sufficient attention to their crew to bring it into line as a probable or even possible winner in the class races or in the contest on the Thames. The trouble is not with the spirit of the men who are now working for the crew; they are doing as good work as can be expected. The difficulty is that a good many men who might well try for the crew and who might, moreover, materially strengthen it, are not trying now and have no intention of doing so. Some...
