...experience of the past two years has shown the impossibility of conducting the Anderson School upon the plan originally intended. The Trustees find themselves at the end of the means at their disposal. To enable them to carry on the school, it is proposed to charge a fee of fifty dollars for the season, and they hope that a sufficient number of pupils can be secured to warrant them in going on. Even with the proposed charges there will be a considerable deficit (as was the case last year) to be met by the friends of the Penikese School...

The advantages of this plan are so plain, that they call for no comment; it is to be hoped that the other boat-clubs of the College will immediately follow the Weld Club's example. The adoption by the boat-clubs of another permanent distinguishing mark has been suggested. In the Library is a card on which are printed in colors the flags...
