THERE need be no discouragement at the prospects of the Nine, and there would be none if the College at large was aware how good the material of the Nine really is. Most of those men who have been nominally training have not so far taken a course calculated to raise the greatest hopes of their success, but we feel confident that they are capable of a great deal. What is needed is good faithful training on the part of the men, and constant attention from the captain in keeping them at work. During the vacation they will have...
...very different aspect which the boat-house presents this year from that of other years cannot be too often remarked upon. The mere fact that there are between forty and fifty men now in training, besides the members of the University Crew, conclusively proves that we have not yet lost all interest in rowing, and also shows that class crews arouse a much more active competition than the old club system ever did or could. The reason for this is obvious, and, apart from the raising of our standard in rowing itself, we ought to congratulate ourselves that any scheme...
...Growler, I'm disappointed in you. I expect men who take my course to be willing to work. I see you are not anxious to profit by your history. Very well, sir, if you do write the thesis it won't add anything to your mark. If you don't, I shall take off twenty per cent. I mark according to the state of a man's health, the size of his head, and my general idea of the time he goes to bed. I give the highest mark to the man who gets worst used up by the course...
...However, the writer of the communication is evidently a lady, - we beg pardon, we mean a co-ed, - perhaps the editress. How should she know that children do not frequent lager-beer saloons? It is natural, too, that she should feel hurt at being told that there are no men at Boston University. We acknowledge that the Beacon has proved conclusively that there are both men and women at Boston University. We should not say, however, judging from the last number of the Beacon, that those men and women were also ladies and gentlemen. The poet of the Beacon invites...
Scratch Races. We hope that the scratch races this year may not be confined to those men who compose, or have tried for, their class crews. Now that the rowing mania is in full blast there will of course be a large entry for these races, and many will enter who have not been rowing steadily, and perhaps not rowing at all. The fact of the races being "scratch" would seem to entitle every entry to a show for a seat in the boats, and to secure this it would seem to be fairer to draw the lots from...
