...terrific, in intellectual terms say Othello's third act to the limit, all present will testify. Everyone seemed ready to throw open the Janus-faced gates of etiquette and let out a little unrestrained enthusiasm, but no leader was on hand to give us the keys. The situation, to put it mildly, was disgraceful. R.W. BABCOCK...

The stroke was kept at about 24 until the last spurt, when it was put up to nearly 40. Wiggin stroked the second boat in Brown's place. The Freshman and second crews went down to the Navy Yard. The coaches took the Freshmen in hand this afternoon, and they showed a decided improvement as a result...
