...want to call the attention of all fellows who have any ability to sing, no matter of what degree that ability may be, to the fact that they should count themselves candidates for the University Glee Club, and should make an especial effort to come over to Holden Chapel on Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock, prepared to sing a song. Sing anything you wish, and bring your music. No man must say that he has no chance until he has tried. We need a large crowd to choose from for we wish a club that will not only...
...race against the United States Naval Academy crew at Annapolis on the Severn on April 22 was won by the University crew by a narrow margin ever a two-mile course, after a bad start.

Many a man of brilliant parts has made little of himself simply because he was never obliged to put forth all his powers. A man of means frequently fails, just because of that fact, to become a means for the highest ends. Occasionally crises come in which the Christ appears bearing the sword and demanding utter self-renunciation. No one here, almost under the shadow of Memorial Hall, can doubt it.
