...their power to insure success. That their efforts will be rendered useless by a tardiness of support, through the negligence of their friends, is a danger against which the graduates, on their side, must jealously guard; and we therefore earnestly call upon them to come forward, now, in good season, and do the part which we have good reason to expect of them, toward bringing the victorious colors whither they have so often come...
HOLYOKE is the only boat-club that has done anything in the way of preparation for the next season on the river. The time of year, we know, is not inspiriting, but if the club-system is to remain in existence, the officers of the clubs should exert themselves now to make it more of a success than it was last year.

...must be depressing, - a result to be deplored, seeing that the spirits of a crew should be raised by all legitimate means. I have heard many a boating-man say that he could pull a stronger oar in the repose of vacation than during the fatigues of the racing season. In former times Harvard men were proverbially overtrained, rarely coming to the starting-point with that buoyancy so essential to the sustained efforts of a hotly contested race...
