Class Day week and the fact that six members of the team are to play their last home game against Yale should provide sufficient inspiration, but there are other and more substantial reasons for expecting much of the team. The men work well together and they all know baseball, They have been well taught and they have been infused with the right spirit. Coach Piper has trained them in the rudiments and in the fine points of the game with untiring devotion. His sympathetic intimacy with the men under his charge has had much to do with the season...
Many graduates of the University who live at a distance from Cambridge are prevented from enrolling as Associate Members of the Union by the fact that they are able to take advantage of its privileges only on rare occasions. They may have been members throughout their College course, or may have been graduated before the founding of the Union, thus losing the opportunity to become familiar with its advantages.

...Freshman eight rowed over the last two miles of the course in 10 minutes, 16 seconds; which is considered very fair time in view of the fact that it was the crew's first time row over the course. Starting at 36, the crew averaged about 32 strokes for most of the row. At the finish the stroke went up as high as 40. Lack of a hard leg drive was the chief fault...
