...purpose of this new plan is to shorten the period when recitations are suspended, a period devoted to special preparation for these semiannual examinations. At present this time is none too much for a thorough review of four months' work in half a dozen difficult courses, such as History 5 and Philosophy 2. It is evident that it will require just as much time to prepare for a one or two-hour as for a three-hour examination, because in each case the same amount of work must be reviewed with the same amount of carefulness. Hence it follows that...
...this regatta according to the expense involved, or the preferences of a minority of the college world, has been proved conclusively a failure. It is desirable, however, that the crews of American colleges should meet occasionally and measure blades, and for this purpose we see no more feasible plan than that proposed by the National Association.

If prizes should be given as handsome as those of last spring, many would doubtless enter...
...getting good boats than Springfield had. A train of platform cars, with seats arranged in the form of an amphitheatre, will also keep along by the side of the boats from start to finish. Each car will hold about eighty people, and it would certainly be a good plan if arrangements could be made by which the students should have certain cars reserved for themselves The only disadvantage of being on this train is, that for the greater part of the distance the boats will be on the opposite side of the river, although at the start and finish they...
