...next regatta by lines of flagged buoys, at intervals of an eighth of a mile. Amendment offered by Harvard to row the next race with coxswains was carried without discussion, and the discussion came in on the original motion as amended. Mr. Gunster of Williams spoke strongly in favor of coxswains, while Mr. Cook of Yale opposed them as too sudden an innovation. Harvard urged the proposition, which was finally assented to by a vote of 6 to 4, - Yeas, Columbia, Harvard, Trinity, Williams, Princeton, Brown; Nays, Yale, Trinity, Wesleyan, Cornell...
...because it was claimed by some that as good time could be made with coxswains as without, it was proper to allow those who thought they could make better time without coxswains to do so. All boats, we think, should be on the same footing, and the considerations in favor of coxswains are many besides that of time, which, in fact, is of small consequence any way in an amateur race.

The two most important changes involved in this substitution are the relegation of the charge of the whole race, from the time of its appointment, to the referee, and the provision whereby every boat leaves its water at its own pier, so that washing is done away...
...would really desire more than the present allowance, and they are the men the Library should be for. A student in history may want several works of, say, three volumes each, and make good use of them. At present he is limited to but three volumes, unless by special favor. If books are continually called for, it is obviously unjust to permit one man to monopolize them; but when almost all such books are retained now on the shelves, it would increase the benefits of the Library to make exceptions and encourage critical and careful investigation, which a few good...
