...advantages that such a tutoring system would possess over the existing one must seem many and obvious. Although, no doubt, there are now some tutors who have a real knowledge of their subject and are conscientious in their work, still the majority are, at best, mediocre. On the other hand, a capable man who is doing the work of a course regularly and thoroughly, would be perfectly competent to impart instruction to his less fortunate or less energetic fellow-classmen. Such a plan would supplement the work of the Price Greenleaf Fund and the other "aids" which the Faculty employs...
...best that is in the team by inspiring the players. Non-contestants can demonstrate their enthusiasm by filling the stands at the games, and should refrain from too free criticism. The season has just begun and the new men cannot be expected to play like veterans.

The result is obvious,--one day enough men to man three eights turn up at the boathouse, and the next day but twelve report for practice, and those who are left over are forced to go without their exercise, or to row in single shells. This uncertainty discourages those who would otherwise attend regularly...
...obvious remedy for this halting system of study is to secure a more even distribution of the work by scattering the conferences throughout the week; and in order that this rearrangement be uniform, it should be made under the supervision of the Recorder. This could hardly fail to improve the general level of the work, for it would mean the substitution of a constant pressure of study for the present alternating periods of idleness and congestion...
