...time is not so far off when we shall take on our editorial board a member of the freshman class, provided anyone shall have shown himself proficient enough for the position. There is no reason why any one shall hold back from a feeling that he is unable to select any subject on which to write. The main requisite is for a man to write good, clear, forcible English; the rest will come with practice.

In the first place there is need of plenty of strong, heavy men from whom to select the crew; but aside from this, rowing is one of the best forms of exercise, and even those who do not intend to make a specialty of athletics will find themselves well repaid for the time spent in training. It is an excellent plan to get into the habit of steady, systematic...
