...solid years, substituting an entirely new man with only ten days of practice before the Yale race, is staring defeat in the face, with only a possible chance of benefiting the crew. There is no comparison between the effect of putting in a new number 2, as last year, and changing the stroke--the one involves a single man's acquiring the rhythm of an already established stroke, the other making over the entire crew to suit a new rhythm.

The duration of the revival depends upon the success it meets with this year. The last concert was successful, but did not attract so much attention as it deserved; it is therefore to be hoped that all who can will leave their work for a few minutes this evening, thereby manifesting their appreciation of the effort the Glee Club is making, and ensuring permanence for the concerts...
