...about 38 strokes to the minute, and for the rest of the distance the crew rowed at about 31, until when nearing the finish the stroke was put up again. The boat seemed to space well between strokes, but did not go so smoothly when the stroke was high, although the start was good...

The University team's total of 226 establishes a new intercollegiate record, beating the former record of 225, held by Yale, by one bird. B. M.

They must arrange for lectures and entertainments, and devise other means to make the club an indispensable part of University life. At the last election only a very small per cent. of the members voted. We hope that the number today will...
