Another instance of this lack on the part of '95 of really enthusiastic interest in class athletics occurred last night when the captain of the 'varsity crew met the candidates for the freshman boat. Only sixty-three men appeared as candidates. Now in Ninety-three's freshman year over one hundred men presented themselves at this first meeting, and last year the number was largely in excess of the number which came out last night.

There are probably very few college men who have not read more or less of Alexandre Dumas fils. All those who know his work and the few who from lack of opportunity or from hyper-prudishness are not familiar with it will find Mr. Jefferson B. Fletcher's critical article on this great French writer (which, by the way, occupies the place of honor) an interesting and just piece of work.

Consequently the club has occasionally been a trifle subject to the demoralization and lack of interest which are inevitable when there is no clearly defined purpose before the members. We do not mean to say that the Western trip is the main object ahead of the Glee Club; far from it. But such an enjoyable trip is certainly an incentive to more earnest and eager...
