...times past, of those holding cards of admittance to the basement and stack of the library. So much confusion has been caused in this way as to impair seriously the usefulness of the institution, and may, in the future, occasion stringent measures against even those students who have great need of easy access to the less frequently used reference books. The trouble arises mainly from the failure of students to replace the books used.

As spring came on, and the men began to row on the water, the need of a good coach became more and more apparent. A meeting of boating men was accordingly held, and it was decided to employ Chainey, an English Coach, who was said to possess wonderful qualities as an oarsman and trainer.
