...only excuse for the men who have done it, is that they did not realize what it meant. The whole object of the management has been to offer the seats at a reasonable price, and to restrict the sale to college men and their friends. The advantages are obvious, and it goes without saying that it is to the interest of college men as a class to enforce this policy strictly...
...very practical reason for this success is obvious. The building offers so many conveniences, that the students as a body frequent it for attractions which they can not find elsewhere. The University Club at Yale on the other hand, is not so well fitted up, and is, in comparison, less popular. It is clear, therefore, that the Harvard Club should be supplied with everything which can minister to the comfort of its members. An extra effort must be made to provide a sufficient sum for the maintenance of a thoroughly well equipped building. Half way measures in this case...
...advisability of continuing this system of breaking in new material is obvious. Thus far, however, little has been done, and we hope to see an awakening very shortly. Last year's energy was commendable. This year it is imperative that the same energy be sustained. The great opportunity for bringing success to Harvard rowing lies just here.

Thus, and thus only, can the 'Varsity coaches be supplied each year with a satisfactory lot of candidates...

...reasons for the change are doubtless excellent, though they might be more obvious. But the abruptness with which the department has acted is manifestly unfair. The new regulation can hardly be of immediate, vital importance; yet it means serious disappointment to the many who are now practically debarred from the course...
