...state of affairs at first sight seems absurd, and on further consideration, it seems even more ridiculous. Why, if vacations are given for recuperations are they not given when they are most needed, is the most natural query. Under the present arrangement, not only do the students in reality lose more time, the work in reality is made harder for them. Also it would certainly seem most fitting for some move to be taken by the faculty to at least consider the advisability of a change...
...list of entries for the meeting this afternoon gives promise of a meeting which shall equal that of last week in brilliancy. The programme will be commenced promptly at 2.30, and a notice printed elsewhere says that men must be on time or lose their chance to compete. Besides the contested event, the University crew of 1884 will give an exhibition pull on the hydraulic machines, just after the horizontal bar contest. The crew will row in the following order...
...think, is the proper one with which to characterize their present action in regard to the petition from the executive officers of our different athletic associations, which is now before them.

The next number, Walther's Preislied, from Wagner's "Mastersingers," was not open to this criticism; the spirit was admirably sustained, with the only fault of the orchestra's playing...
...have a fair trial; moreover a man must do better than is necessary to do his college honor. Again the captains, - and this is especially the case with freshman captains - have not had much experience in controlling and commanding college men so that they may be carried away, lose their head and use their power to advance friends. We do not think that the selecting men for the teams is part of a captain's duty, but that he is elected to train the men and govern them when on the field. The hard feeling and discontent caused by this...
