...cannot believe that the class of '89 is more unhappily constituted than its predecessors, or that, if a just statement of the case be made to its members, they will will refuse to bear their fair share in the support of our athletics. The deficit may arise from a lack of proper canvassing. We sincerely trust that this is the only reason, and that the freshmen, if personally solicited, will contribute with pleasure their quota to the general Boat Club fund...
...discussion as to how the expense of a college course nowadays compared with the cost a generation ago, has been started afresh by some talk on the subject at a recent reunion of the Yale alumni in Springfield, Mass. The great difficulty about reaching a just conclusion is the lack of sufficient trustworthy data.

Even the average expenditure...
...report of the University Boat Club, published in our issue of yesterday, was interesting reading to the college at large.

The average man requires the food elements in about the proportion of 4 oz. nitrogenous, 3 oz. fats, and 13 oz. sugar, starch, etc. Lack of any one of the elements...
...sports is praiseworthy. The Mott Haven team has lost good men from '85, and it is absolutely necessary that their places should be filled. An observer in the gymnasium can see plenty of '89 men who are fit to try for the Mott Haven, and it is evident that lack of confidence is the reason which has caused the non-appearance of the freshmen. Harvard's superiority in track athletics must be preserved...
