...last heavy work in preparation for the Annapolis race next Wednesday was done yesterday, when the University crew raced a mile and seven-eighths, paced for the first mile and a quarter by the University second crew and the last half-mile by the Freshmen. On the start, opposite the Union Boat Club, the first crew drew away from the second, although rowing a lower stroke, and after the first quarter-mile led by a length. The University crew was rowing about 32 and the second about two points higher. This lead was maintained for the next half-mile...

President Eliot believes that the number of commissioners should be kept small, never exceeding seven. To the objection that a small commission is undemocratic, he replies that the charter constituting it proceeds from the people and that the renewing of the commission is in the hands of the people by means of election. But there are other guarantees of democracy; the initiative and referendum, the daily and weekly press, and the method of public hearing...
