...hope that the amount and character of the news contained in this issue of the Crimson will fully justify the delay attending it. The great mass of interesting news which accumulates during Commencement Week does not reach the majority of the students; furthermore, the press reports of the regatta are often, because of their omissions, untrustworthy, and to know Harvard's side of the story one has to wait until the first issue of the college papers in the fall. The publication of the news contained in this issue leaves the Crimson free to present for the first number...
...indications were by no means promising, however, and the youthful Keltic mind did not seem to grasp the true spirit of the reform. Many strange inconsistencies were noticed at first.

The firm grip on the water, instantly got on the full reach, should be followed clear through by a good, vigorous, even stroke. The hardest part of this stroke, unless the man makes a jerk in the middle, must be at the beginning, because there the greatest resistance is obtained; and there the greatest strength must be applied, and applied instantly...
