...candidates for the freshman crew have not been taking any systematic exercise, but today they will begin to get into condition for the strict training which begins immediately after the Christmas recess. Long afternoon walks four or five times a week will be the general mode of exercise. This plan must certainly commend itself to every one, for a great difficulty in the past has been that fully three weeks of valuable time after the Christmas recess have been devoted to getting the candidates into trim for the regular gymnasium drill. The Columbia freshmen must be beaten this year...

Set aside this false modesty, this lack-a-daisical spirit, this laziness which has so far characterized you. Help your poor football team with all your might, be energetic enough...
...inauguration yesterday afternoon of the new plan of holding class races in the fall was an unqualified success. The scheme resulted so favorably that the query is a natural one why such contests have not taken place at a similar time before. Now that an eminently satisfactory precedent has been established, it will be observed at once that a lasting good can come of it in the promotion of advantageous class rivalry. But of far greater importance is it that an unwearied interest in rowing is certain to be felt throughout the University. All praise is due the senior crew...
