...corporation should be formed because the Society often buys "for cash and on thirty days" and therefore large bills are frequently due. Perhaps he is not aware that out in the real business world "cash" includes payment within thirty or even sixty days. In fact all the directors seem to be under the impression that an organization cannot transact business unless it is under exact legal liability at every point. They forget, or do not know, that modern business is done on credit and not on legal liabilities. A student under age is trusted for luxuries by tradesmen not because...
...Higginson started up-stream in the launch with the first crew. The men rowed in fours and sixes for about a mile, while Mr. Higginson coached them in starting forward quickly on the recover. When they tried to row all eight, the boat was very unsteady and did not seem to travel well. In a quarter-mile brush with the second on the way down-stream, the second crew beat the first by a length, while rowing the same stroke. In a considerably longer stretch, around the bend to the boat-house, the first had the inside of the curve...
...both eights are showing a gradual improvement. Neither crew is well together yet, and consequently the boats are unsteady; but as the orders are rarely changed this difficulty should soon be overcome.

The chances for winning, however, are slightly in favor of one of the two upper classes. If it does not rain before 4 o'clock the track will be in good condition in spite of the wet weather yesterday morning. In the trial heats of the track events only the first and second men will qualify for the finals. There...
...inventory of the estate of the late George Smith '53, of St. Louis, which has recently been sent to the Corporation by the executors, indicates that the amount which will come to the University will be about $250,000. It would seem likely, therefore, that seventeen or eighteen years must elapse before the three dormitories provided for can be erected, for the will directs that if the amount is less than $450,000, the fund must be allowed to accumulate until that amount is reached, before construction can begin...
