...which one of the rooms of the boat-house is leased to it for its exclusive use, the rent to be paid by assessment. Many men have joined the club who have no canoes as yet, but most of these are building crafts destined to beat anything of the kind afloat. In the spring a regatta will be held on Charles river, open to all members of the club which will consist of sailing and double and single paddling races of all classes. A challenge has been received from Brown University Canoe Club which will probably be accepted...
Picking out a freshman crew is a different sort of thing from that of an upper-class crew. The men are so often undeveloped, and entirely new to this kind of thing that, without knowing their strength and endurance, it is hard to tell what to do with them. Then, too, besides being ignorant of the physical capabilities of the men, the captain and coach are, as a rule, unacquainted with their dispositions and tendencies-qualities which are as essential to a good oar as are the physical ones.

From present developments the freshmen here are decidedly inferior to the men at New Haven, and only by the hardest kind of work and systematic training can Harvard hope to wipe out the remembrance of the fiasco of last year's freshman team...
...with it. At Yale they have already foreseen the advantage of this by securing the services of a person, who is thoroughly competent to deal with the minor details and intricacies of the large daily publications, to give a series of lectures on that subject. A course of this kind would tend to be a sort of stepping-stone for those who intend to make journalism their profession, from the inferior to the superior grades of newspaper work. Mr. Pulitzer, of the New York World, is a strong advocate of the formation of a college chair of journalism, believing that...
