...that the action of that committee was indorsed by a boating meeting, and when their reasons for "procrastination" are known by most men in college. It does not seem so difficult to apprehend why the Executive Committee should hesitate to bind the College to a race with Cornell, at present our most doughty adversary, when they foresaw as possible what has now happened. We are at a loss to know to whom the term "boating representatives" applies; if by it are meant the crew, we think the Advocate fails to appreciate their feelings, for their withdrawal from the boat...
...evident that it meets a want which has long been felt. There are many men in college who know just enough about singing to wish to know more, and there are many others who know nothing about it, but would be glad to learn; to all such the present opportunity will doubtless prove a welcome one.

...last the candidates for the University crew made their first appearance in the Gym. Of the thirteen who have gone into training only four are of last year's crew, and five are from the Freshman class; a fact which speaks encouragingly for the future, if not for the present..... Thus far the men have done a little more than half work, but they will gradually settle down to work of last year. To attempt any estimate of our prospective crew for '79 would be premature and a patent absurdity, and yet there are indications which, though not infallible...
