...with her oarsmen. In making this statement we have not forgotten that an alleged intercollegiate rowing association held regattas in 1883 and 1884, received its death blow in an unseemly squabble on Lake Quinsigamond in 1885, and died of inanition during the summer of 1886. It would hardly be fair to dignify these minor contests by crediting their winners with championship honors; but if it be done, then Bowdoin won the last championship of American intercollegiate rowing, and is the present holder by default...
...very sad accident happened at New Haven on Monday, in which Fletcher Ritzinger, a sophomore in the Sheffield Scientific school lost his life and W. E. Walker, a classmate narrowly escaped serious injury. After recitation Ritzinger and Walker went driving and on their return passed through Fair Haven. While crossing the track of the New York and New Haven railroad at Poorman's crossing, the team was struck by an express train, instantly killing Ritzinger. Walker saved himself by jumping and escaped without injury...
...useless to express any opinion as to how the crew is rowing, but it is fair to say that they go through their motions with a good deal of earnestness. Hutchinson, Tilton and Finlay are not yet rowing; they will commence soon after the mid-years. Mr. R. A. F. Penrose, '84, who rowed stroke on the crews of '85 and, 86 looked at the crew yesterday. The men will probably row in the tank by Wednesday or Thursday...
...ratio. Between 1882, and 1886 the ratio of their gain was 22 from the west with a total gain of 38. I claim that it is not far wrong to say that the great increase in the number of western men at Yale is abnormal, just as it is fair to say that the immense growth of the whole college in late years is abnormal...
Would it not have been just as fair to argue, before 1888, that Yale was becoming a mere side show compared with Harvard, as it is to conclude the Harvard is becoming provincial on account of the recent growth of Yale? Either argument is false and trivial because it is based on insufficient data. Why not rather view the subject from the point of view of several decades, as the CRIMSON does, instead of trying to find ground for alarm in the figures for five, or more correctly, three years? If there is "versatility of misapprehension" anywhere...
