Though the rowing of the crew is still somewhat ragged, they have shown great improvement during the last two weeks, and it is thought by the captain and the coach that if the crew can continue to make the same ratio of improvement during the next ten days at Cambridge, and then can have two clear weeks at New London, where they will be entirely free from all distraction and annoyance, and will be able to devote absolutely their whole time and attention to increasing the speed of the boat, the crew...

Is it fair, then, that every one of the four hundred boarding-school boys in various parts of the United States who are intending to come to Harvard next year, but who have absolutely no connection with college, many of whom never will be here or will be plucked in the examinations, should have an equal chance at the limited number of rooms available, with fellows who have been...
