...this way your first winter will be spent, and when it comes time for election into societies in the spring, one of two things will happen, - you will either be in the "first ten," or you will not. If you are a member of the "first ten" you can strut about as much as you please, leave off calling your athletic friends "old fellow," and bow graciously to Seniors; if not, another path is open to you.

To conclude, the Crimson does not think that as yet there is sufficient reason to abandon the ground which has been already taken...
...past few years has been so arranged as to draw many spectators. It is natural and fitting that the University Race with Yale should absorb almost all the enthusiasm of the persons in and out of College who are interested in rowing, and it must nearly always happen, as was the case last year, that the Freshmen will row to very small audiences. With the increased expense of the launch, the cost of maintaining the University Crew is considerably augmented; and, as our contributor points out, the Freshman Class might transfer the bulk of their subscriptions from their class crew...
