Outside the typographical improvements which include a shortened reading line, the featuring of the "leader," and trimmed edges, the reading matter is of exceptional interest. A more straight-forward, sensible and well-written article than "The Crew Coach" by W. H. L. Bell '04, is seldom if ever seen in an undergraduate publication.

Each movement is practiced until it is instinctive. The result of the training is that every muscle is as perfectly under control...
There is no doubt in my mind about the benents of cheering to an athletic team, no matter in what branch or sport it may be. There always come times in college competition of all sorts when a team or an individual does more than it was believed possible; and, although this may be said to have been due to any number of causes, the real one was that the individual or the members of the team had, for perhaps but an instant, had one ear open to the grandstand and had received the outside encouragement...
