...June 15.--This afternoon the University crew took a hard row down-stream under favorable conditions. The time was 21m. 9s. The work showed much improvement, especially in watermanship. The Freshman eight went over the first mile of the course with the University boat, and by rowing a somewhat higher stroke, finished half a length ahead of it. The University crew then went over the rest of the course alone, finishing very strong. Ober replaced Swaim, who is slightly indisposed, at bow this morning, but Swaim took his place again during the time row this afternoon...
...justly so--as part of his wages, supplementing the admittedly small pay of the Association; and in view of the fact that the fees at different tables are unequal and variable; it was voted that a system of wages graded according to merit and length of service, and higher than at present, be substituted next autumn for the present feeling system.

...work of the Yale crew was light today. The men rowed short, easy stretches and especial attention was given to the correction of individual faults. Later, the crew rowed a mile and a quarter upstream, and the work was very ragged and the recovery slow. The stroke was not higher than 28 except at the very end when it was raised to 32. In the work of the four-oared especial attention was given to improvement in form. The recovery, however, was very slow. Daly has an attack of chills and fever and will probably be out of the boat...
...editorials in the current number of the Advocate suggests that the University insist upon a higher standard of scholarship than is at present required. The chief argument presented in favor of a change is that the prevailing rules do not demand enough of the kind of work that is permanently valuable to the student...
