...relative merits of the crews. At present they are in a rather crude state and have not even learned the whole stroke. Most of the crews are made up largely of new men, as the old members are either at present with the 'Varsity or have not as yet gone into training. The sophomore crew has the largest number of old men, while the seniors and juniors have almost none...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- After the talk which followed President Eliot's remarks on "College Opinion" Monday night had gone on some time, I thought of giving a reminiscence of the "Conference Committee" of which I was one faculty member, when the meeting suddenly came to a close. In order to free my mind, I send my reminiscence to you. It concerns the matter of cheating at examinations, which the Conference Committee discussed at many meetings, and at considerable length.

...beginning of January, the number has fallen off to less than the number requisite for a nine with its substitutes. The captain is notoriously negligent of his duties.

But things were allowed to take their course until now the desired end has arrived of itself. And how does it find us? It finds us up abreast with Harvard, Yale and Columbia...
...notice that those colleges which advocate the introduction of regular gymnasium work have lately received an addition to their ranks. Johns Hopkins University has gone so far as to prescribe steady gymnasium work as a requisite for obtaining a degree. A sound body is certainly to be desired in a student, but we consider it inadvisable to thrust a knowledge of the flying rings upon a man to whom such instruction is distasteful. Better far to use one's persuasive powers on recalcitrant gymnasts...
