...will notice a very marked improvement, and one that will, in time, cause the old machines to be supplanted by the new ones. For, as Dr. Sargent says, a man does not so much mind the weights in the box, but he instinctively turns to the machine with the less friction...
...fail to be represented in boating matters by a university crew. In fact, to the best of our knowledge, the men that are now in training for positions on the crew are rapidly becoming disheartened ; never was there a greater lack of system and never have the students felt less confidence in the abilities of their representative eight.

It is now less than a month before the inter-collegiate sports, and our chances for the cup are not as good as they were at this time last year, owing to the loss of Messrs. Kip, Soren and Morrison. We need to strain every nerve to win. Most members of last year's team have been training for some time, but there seems to be a lack of new men. It would be well for the freshmen...
