...rather disappointing that more interest was not shown this year in the sparring. If anything, there was less than was manifested at the meetings last year. It would seem unfortunate if the practice of sparring were allowed to die out from Harvard sports altogether, without any attempt to revive it. Just what the best measures to bring about its revival would be, it is hard to say. The question is one which deserves the careful consideration of the Athletic Association.

The science of Political Economy has arisen, and with it we sometimes think there has originated an entirely new kind of charity.

As a whole the men seem to row fairly well together for this time of the year. The blade work seems also to be fairly good. The stroke so far has been kept very slow so that it is impossible to form any judgment of what the new men will do when they are put into a shell...
