...papers on "The Evolution of Form in College Rowing," written by Mr. E. M. Garnett. The subject of the first paper is "The Harvard Stroke." In it the various changes which the Harvard stroke has undergone during the past five years are carefully described. The article explains fully the reason for Harvard's ill success since 1885 and so is very interesting. We quote a part of the article criticizing the '88 stroke and comparing it with that rowed...
...rest. No one, however, should allow himself to be discouraged by this mishap. It should only serve as an additional stimulus to hard work among the candidates, and ready support and encouragement throughout the college. Luce's position will be difficult to fill, but this is only a stronger reason for every man who has any ability in pitching to present himself as a candidate and make sure that it is not through any laziness or negligence of his that the nine may have no satisfactory pitcher next season.

Bicycling as a sport deserves a much more prominent place in college athletics because of the skill...
...understood from remarks made by several professors that the resolutions of the Board of Overseers have been adopted by the faculty with some modification and will go into effect about April 1st. The faculty doubtless have good reason for their secrecy, but the inevitable result is that many reports are now rife in the college, of which some may be true but most are probably false. Much dissatisfaction is expressed because of the delay. The matter is of such vital interest to all undergraduates that their impatience is justifiable. Nevertheless we would urge the necessity of caution in criticizing...
