...recent class and single sculls races will be set up once more. Furthermore the committee has decided to use a full and efficient numbering system by which spectators may distinguish the crews and individuals. The bow oarsman of each boat will have a number on his back to show his crew, and the other men will also be numbered. On-lookers can learn the names of the competitors by referring to their programs. These programs will be made up as soon as possible and will contain all details concerning the regatta. The entries are now closed and no changes...

Other men come out, and in the face of hard competition, stick out, work hard, and in the end come through, as did these men Saturday.

Two of these are examples of amatory pantheism, somewhat obscurely though not ineffectively expressed. Mr. Nelson's effort is simpler, clearer, more cheerful, and on the whole more pleasing...
...however, the object of the CRIMSON to attack the Pierian, but to show the need of a University orchestra, under the control of the Music Department. Such an orchestra could be of utmost service to the department,--for example, by playing illustrations for Music 3 and 4, and by running over original scores for members of Music 6. At present, a man who plays a year in the New England Conservatory Orchestra gets credit for a half course. There is no reason why such an advantage should not be enjoyed in an orchestra from which the University gained the benefits...
