If our real rowing ability is on a par with that of the other colleges, our large numbers ought to secure a correspondingly large share of the victories.

Although the crew suffer greatly in the loss of stroke oarsman, the real difficulty at present lies in the unwillingness of several members to row again this year.

Now it is very rare to hear...
...published weekly, biweekly and monthly, it is not at all times convenient to wait for one, two or three weeks for a paper and then run the risk of not finding the information desired. Besides this, other advantages of not so direct a nature, but none the less real, will undoubtedly accrue to the members of the association. Few will claim that college journalism has reached a stage where further improvement is impossible, and it seems certain that by a judicious exercise of the right vested in the society of denying to objectionable papers admission to the association...
