...Columbia freshman crew that has just gone to New London is about the same style of crew that the college has sent there for some years past. A very light, "sandy" lot of men that do not row in anything like the form of a Harvard or Yale crew. These men are, therefore, not to be judged so much from the way they row as the speed they get out of their boat and the amount of endurance there is in the men.

Wealthy men here, not generally given the reputation of having concern for their fellow-students, have been known time and again to give large sums...

We regret that circumstances have forced us to cut down the applications in some cases very considerably. We have tried to see that each applicant's personal wants at least and, as far as possible, those of his immediate family, were provided for. Any tickets...
