...College will in the future realize the fact that it is their duty to be more alive to rowing matters. Heretofore, every thing has been left for the Executive Committee to do. If any thing of particular importance came up before that committee, it used to be referred to the Boat Club, until these meetings came to be so poorly attended that the holding of a meeting was a mere farce. Harvard indifference, so called, is a dangerous trait in the Harvard student, and the sooner he appreciates this the better for his college. What a marked contrast...
BECAUSE the Acta Columbiana published a satire upon New Haven in general, and the Yale Record in particular, the Courant and the News announce that hereafter they will not exchange with the Acta.

Real grievances, in nine cases out of ten, can be best remedied by a direct appeal to the proper authorities; a headlong dash into print not only does no good, but does much harm. Complaint in general, and unreasonable complaint in particular, gives the student the reputation of a chronic grumbler, and such a reputation is a terrible barrier to the removal of objects of complaint. We have never known a case where a kind suggestion privately to an instructor did not produce the desired effect; while we do know of many...
