...much annoyance. Yale was the college with which we wanted to row; and in boating matters, all else should be made subservient to the Yale race. For this race, however, that with Columbia was found to be an excellent preparation, and as such, was very desirable for Harvard. The question was one to be carefully considered; and the President would be glad to have it generally discussed by the meeting...
...glad to avail themselves of excursion tickets such as those lately used by the Fifteen. If such tickets were issued, to hold good for two weeks, they would be eagerly bought at Christmas also. It is a pity that something of this sort is not done. The main question probably would be, Who is to do it?

...other offices should be filled in some manner by which the aim of securing the interest of the whole class should be kept constantly in view. In what way such a selection can be accomplished is a mooted question. Certainly a crowded class meeting is not a place where anything more abstract than personal or factional interest can be adhered to. A plan which was proposed only too late last year was the election in open meeting of a large committee of fifteen or twenty, who should report nominations to the class. In this way a calmer discussion could...
