...varsity launch came to grief again Tuesday afternoon. While she was travelling along under a heavy pressure of steam in order to keep up with the crew, the connecting rod of the low-pressure cylinder broke, knocking off the cylinder head and smashing things generally. This necessitated taking the launch to the dry-dock for repairs. In the evening the engineer started with her for the lower basin, but she became unmanageable and went aground on a mud bank off the Crescent Boat Club house. The skid on the keel stuck in the mud and prevented the tide from floating...
...alarm was rung in from box 61 night before last for a fire in a large three-story wooden buiding on Mill street, just off Holyoke st. The building is occupied by five shops-the ground floor by a shell-builder and a rod-maker, the second floor by a carpenter, and the third by another carpenter and a slater.

...during the first ten strokes, either boat is disabled by any bona fide accident. Owing to the unequal length of the boats, the manner of starting the crews, was the cause of much controversy several years ago. Article XIX settles the question definitely.

The two crews are started even and timed at the finish by these flags...

...efforts to the contrary. Notwithstanding this, the innocent should not be made to pay the penalty due the guilty. At least there should be formulated a set of rules governing the action of the bursar that the students who are compelled to feel the weight of the financial rod might know by what regulations they are pressed to the wall. The complaints which have reached us have come from angry hearts and seething brains. While we can easily (far too easily) appreciate the feelings of these men we would counsel that the citadel of their enemy be attacked...
