...crew has been changed about a good deal of late, hardly rowing in the same order two days in succession. Saturday the crew was arranged with: Stroke, Captain Thompson; 7, Waters; 6, Glidden; 5, Saltonstall; 4, S. Williams; 3, Bond; 2, Loring; bow, Johnson. The men in many ways seem to be falling to pieces.

If they are willing to acknowledge so remarkable a growth and future career for our Western colleges, they must draw conclusions diametrically...
...will have a last opportunity to consult "Doctor Bill" this week. It is at the Tremont Theatre that this celebrated physician has his office hours, from 7.45 to 10.45 nightly, and in the words of his officious father-in-law, "Doctor Bill has been very successful." Though it may seem a paradoxical statement to make, "Doctor Bill" has, besides his own handsome masculine features, several attractive feminine features...
