This morning all the crews except the second four took a short row near the bank of the west shore where the water was calm. The afternoon's practice was of a more serious nature. The University crew rowed down to the half-mile flag below the Navy Yard in one stretch, a distance of about two and one-half miles. The crew showed much improvement over yesterday's work and appears to be slowly emerging from last week's decided slump. The men were using their shoulders to better advantage at the finish, with the result that the boat...

...noted from the start that more than three fourths of the Seniors have refused to answer the inquiry, probably because they recognized the misleading character of this method. The philosophy department offers five introductory courses. Not a single one has the honor to be in the first half of this list of sixty-two courses. Does that really suggest that they belong to the least desirable offerings of the University and that a student would do better to choose courses among those higher on the list...
...Freshman and Middlesex School four-oared crews rowed two races over a three-quarter mile course on the Charles River above the Stillman Infirmary yesterday afternoon. In the first race the Middlesex crew won from the Freshmen by one and a half lengths. The Middle sex crew got a lead at the start and held this advantage throughout; they rowed in almost perfect form and used fully as much power as the Freshmen though a considerably lighter crew. In the second race the Freshman second won by a length from the Middlesex second four, who were one half length ahead...
