From an editorial in the March Illustrated we learn that the ambition of the present board is "first of all to interest undergraduates and thereby to educate and mould opinion." It is a pleasure to find how near the present number comes to meeting the test so laid down. Mr. Gannet's "Impressions of Berlin University" give us an unusually intimate picture of German student life. His observations are pointed and keen; indeed, such ones as, "The German is perpetually hungry," and, "Akademische Freiheit is the Veritas of the German University," are almost epigrammatic.

...quite a departure from the plans of previous years. James O. Rodgers '98, who will serve as head coach, will give his services absolutely without compensation. He will lay out his work very much after the way graduate coaching is conducted in England. His plan will be to mould the oarsmen along certain lines which will be a well-defined style of graduate coaching, so that the work, entirely amateur, may be continued from year to year just as football coaching has been done with uniform success for many years...
