In the travels of Baron Munchausen, we read of a man who had to have cannon balls tied to his feet to prevent him from running too fast. Would it not be well to tie something of the same sort, say, four years of college life, and college training, and college education, to the legs of all the hasty and over-ambitius fortune seekers...

As a crew, they have taken to the water very well. They are rowing a fast, lively stroke, and pull the heavy 'varsity barge with comparative ease. Their own barge, the bow of which was stoven in at the scratch races last fall, has not yet been repaired by the boat club. The members of the crew are now at a training table at Memorial...
