...Harvard's withdrawing from the Rowing Association of American Colleges was presumably settled at the last general meeting of the H. U. B. C., yet as there is quite a large party in College who, not knowing their own strength, did not oppose the adoption of the resolution to remain in the Association, but who are extremely anxious to have the resolution rescinded, and who have come to doubt the numerical strength of their opponents, it seems but just that some statement of the reasons for their desire to withdraw should be made public; and it is with this object...
...fourteen colleges, differing greatly in size and in the extent of their resources; and while three or four are abundantly supplied with men and money for sending crews, the majority have the greatest difficulty in meeting their crews' expenses. In fact, the latter have joined the Association, and remain in it, for the reason that membership is now accepted as a sort of certificate of character, and is deemed the distinguishing mark between a college and a high school.

We lose one of our best rules; for though touch-downs count something, we have not the right to try for a goal after the ball has been brought in. We are allowed, as before...
...will seldom need to do more than write business letters. Of course, there are many men who do not use any of these means of education, for even a theme may be bought for a few dollars; still it is through no fault of our system that men remain awkward in expressing themselves. That many of our best writers are willing to make the most of their opportunities every editor knows, who so often finds that some one on whom he has depended for an article has been prevented by a forensic, a thesis, or a Bowdoin prize...
