...crew will leave Cambridge for New London in about a week, makes it very probable that the present order in the boat is the final one, so it is interesting to note what the men are doing. The crew has undergone many changes since the class races, the most obvious advantage being to trim the boat. Rice, who had overtrained before the class races, is again back at seven. He seems in good condition, but he may not be able to stand the heavy work previous to the final race. Shepard, who had taken Rice's place, has been changed...
...whether the first two result in a tie or not, and that the first of these games be played on neutral ground, the second at Cambridge, and the third at New Haven. Such a plan is, we believe, unprecedented in the annals of sport. The objections to it are obvious. If either university wins the first two games, there is no occasion for a third game unless we are to play ball for gate receipts only.

There is no reason why such an event should not become an annual affair, to be held under the auspices of some athletic club. It is obvious that this race could not be run at the Mott Haven games, however, for four strong middle distance runners taken from any team would make a gap that could not easily be filled...

It would not seem too radical a measure, then, to let it be known that the service next Sunday will not be open to the public, but only to students and those who clearly accompany them as friends. If such a limitation were decided on, it is obvious a large number would be kept from coming who otherwise would help to swell the mass of people seeking entrance. There is no doubt that it would still leave enough to fill completely the chapel. Unless some such provision is made, we may expect to see even a greater crush...
...scheme adopted by the commission of New England colleges was intended to encourage a taste for good reading by requiring the reading of good books; to induce boys to learn to write clearly and concisely, methodizing their knowledge at short notice, and to suggest to candidates obvious criticisms on their style by setting exercises in the correction of bad English. The essay, for the writing of which an hour is allowed, was meant to test the student's knowledge of the books read, and at the same time to test his ability to compose...
