...Varsity this year, and what are their chances of success. At present, only eight men are at work, and no more have signified their intention of rowing. This number is evidently far smaller than it should be, for an accident to even one man would prove serious. There are, however, more than eight men at Harvard capable of pulling a good oar, and their interest in her success should bring them forward. Those who have not yet rowed in a race might, by faithful training, acquire enough skill and experience to be eligible for the Crew...
...troupe, as Duplan and Mezieres, are old favorites, always excellent and always welcome. Mlle.

Their loss is a serious one to the amateur athletic interest of the country...

Not only is the average system often unjust, but it is calculated, in the case of those students who strive only for marks, to work serious evil. The only way to avoid this result is courageously to sacrifice college rank to more solid advantages in after life...
