Yale Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry, Conn., June 14, 1909.--None of the crews were able to row this morning on account of a heavy wind. At 6 o'clock this afternoon, however, the university and freshman eights went up-stream two miles. On the way back the two eights had a brush for about a mile, which the university crew won by one length. The university and freshman fours took a short two up to Horton Cove and back...
Many solutions have been advanced, but none has been shown entirely practicable or satisfactory. It might be that a plan adapted from the English model is the key to the situation. A rule that persons qualifying under the present regulations should complete the requirements in three years, while four-year residents should be obliged to take a degree with distinction or fail, would remove most of the difficulties, provided that degree were brought within the reach of the average man after four years' moderate work. Such an innovation would certainly tend to heighten the intellectual standard of the entire College...
...there unquestionably is a sense of moral turpitude attached to cheating in these examinations which are such an important factor in final grades. The temptation to cheat in the finals is of course proportionately stronger, and weighs particularly upon men whose connection with the College depends upon the outcome. None the less, complaints almost never reach the College Office, and in the past three years only two instances have come to our notice. We do not attribute this to the supervision of proctors, which by no means renders impossible the use of blotters on which the necessary facts or formulae...
...University crews, always a splendid race, well fought out from start to finish. This year we seem to have slightly the advantage of our opponents. To be sure, the Cornell crew broke the record on the Henley course last Saturday in the race with the Harvard second crew, but none of the men are oarsmen of much experience in a university boat. On the other hand the Harvard crew is chiefly composed of members of last year's victorious eight, and the order has remained practically unchanged throughout the season. Combine this advantage in experience with superior weight...
Every man on the University or second baseball teams must get special tickets at the Athletic Office in order to be admitted to Soldiers Field this afternoon. None of these men will be allowed in the Stadium, and no other men will be admitted to the field without a regular ticket. Members of the Freshman lacrosse team will be admitted tomorrow by special tickets...
