...sure, the time for training in the autumn is short, and the greater attractions of football and rowing take away some men's attention from the Athletic meetings; but this cannot wholly explain the poor exhibition made by some of the contestants. When we take into consideration the number of men in the University, it does not seem too sanguine to expect that at least five good men should compete in each of the more important sports. The weather was, unfortunately, bad; but, as the spring is likely to be more favorable, we trust that more men will train...
...Class Races will come off over the Charles River course, and an exciting contest may safely be predicted between at least two of the crews! The necessity of having some system by which the Captain of the 'Varsity can have an opportunity of selecting his crew from the greatest number of possible candidates in the autumn is recognized by every one, and it seems as though the system on trial this year will be satisfactory.

But if these men will leave some older organization, which needs their support, to start...
...with, and "absences" take their place. Seniors and Juniors, since they have voluntary recitations, will not be allowed so many "absences" as Sophomores and Freshmen. The proportion, as soon as it is determined, will be put on the bulletin board. The aim of these changes is to lessen the number of possible ways of Probation or Suspension, and to leave no occasion for the plea of ignorance of the law. But absences from religious exercises cannot be added to absences from college exercises to occasion any penalty...
