EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.- I see that in your yesterday's issue you criticise one of the items of expenditure of the Boat Club. I should like to say as a member of the executive committee that the officers of the boat club are deeply sensible how much the crew is handicapped, in its efforts towards success, by the heavy debt under which the club is at present laboring, and that they are extremely anxious to reduce expenses to as low a point as is consistent with the welfare of the crew and that therefore any criticisms of the expenditures...
...interchange of courtesies, moreover in the course of the two or three weeks that the crew occupy that secluded cabin on the Thames, they are visited by a considerable number of people, and they also always visit New London once or twice. I think that most Harvard men would like to see the crew which represents them, presenting rather a more uniform appearance than if clad in the motley garb which would result from each man wearing whatever clothes he happened to have in his possession...

Sheppard, '87, was left field on his class nine, and is trying for a similar position on the university, which he stands a fair chance of gaining...
...perhaps it is hard to say. Doubtless the instructor regards a good note-book in a certain degree as an index of good attendance, and good work. The value to the student is here seen in the mark that he gets. But marks cannot be regarded as anything like accurate measures of value. The mark the student gets is one thing, and the reactionary influence he gets from the mere fact of his taking notes is another, that is quite different, and undoubtedly more important...
