...EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-The usual spirit of the legal profession-that of taking advantage of circumstances without regard to justice-is developing very early in the present members of the Law School. For it seems very unjust toward the undergraduate classes for that department of the university to abstain from the races on the Charles until there is an accumulation of old and excellent oarsmen from which to form a crew. Moreover I can not help thinking that this will have a bad effect generally on the interest in rowing taken by undergraduates. The one cause of enthusiasm...
...EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-Many students are unable to sleep well after hard study without first drawing the blood from their heads by bodily exercise. They ought to spend an hour in the gymnasium at the close of their day's work, and go to bed immediately on returning to their rooms. It is presumably to allow this that the gymnasium is opened in the evening. But the benefit is lost to a great extent by closing at so early an hour. Exercise is stopped at 9.30.

A student wishing to join a corps gives in his name to some member of it; if he be elected he becomes a Fuchs so-called...
...EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-Cannot something be done to insure sending a four-oared crew to the intercollegiate regatta to be held at Saratoga on July 4th? The hotels have offered free transportation and accommodation, so that the cost of such a crew would be comparatively slight. The necessary expenses would be somewhere between $400 and $500, and surely such a sum could easily be raised for the purpose. The objection that shall immediately be made to sending a crew, is that there would not be time to shake a four together after the Yale race, and that any other crew...
