...football season seems to have exhausted men's energies for any thing else. The efforts made by the Athletic Association to arouse interest in the weekly contests they arranged, met with feeble response and were abandoned. It is this lack of interest that has made the meetings this year inferior to those of former years...
...article is "How John Swinton came to go into Business." We do not think that Swinton as portrayed here was very logical in his search for a profession. Instead of looking for the higher types among the lawyers, the doctors and the ministers, he seems to have chosen very inferior men as the proper representatives of their classes.

Dana, '91, will probably cover first, though...
...training for the Oxford crew two eights have at last been selected, and nothing remains but to choose from them the eight men who shall represent Oxford in the Oxford-Cambridge race. Great doubt is felt at Oxford as regards the strength of the crew. The material is inferior to that of former years, and the average weight of the men is but 160 lbs. Only three members of last year's crew are rowing, but the fact that their weight is at present the same as at the time of last year's race shows that they...
