...many are found in this category, but that most of them refrain reluctantly - as betraying either their poverty or want of sympathy with their fellows - I do not doubt. Upon those who do contribute to the sports, a variety of motives press with great force and unite with the often newly acquired liberty to spend to make their subscriptions disproportionate to their means. When so many claims in so many branches of athletics are presented at one time (as to the freshmen at the opening of the term) the aggregate becomes a sensible burden to parents who can barely afford...
...show the college what the long months of training have accomplished. That the "veritable Samsons," as the New London newspapers call them, will come out of the contest with new laurels we firmly believe, for the Columbia stroke is an essentially weak one. For this reason, although Columbia often has better material in her boat than her opponents, she has seldom rowed a successful race.

Again, it has been the aim of the Western Association to make inquiries concerning the training of women in household science. They have no desire to revolutionize society in any way, but they realize that hap-hazard ways often prevail in many households; that while much has been done to open new lines of work to women, but little has been done to improve her work in those fields that have always been considered by the opponents of higher education for women legitimately hers. Plans have therefore been perfected...
