...improvement on the first. In the portion of the work devoted to rowing interests there is, besides a complete record of the winners of important races in America and of the English Universities and championship races, the Laws of Boat-Racing, with full notes and explanations; the National Association Regatta Rules, Constitution, and By-laws. The part devoted to Athletics contains a record of meetings in 1874 and a synopsis of the season, Laws of Athletics, Hints on Athletics, and, we are glad to say, a short "list of best performances in America," which "will serve as a beginning...

Freshman crews will come from Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, and probably from Amherst and Dartmouth.
