...Freshmen are showing a laudable interest in boating. Last Monday night, their captain, Mr. North, called a meeting of the candidates for the crew. About twenty men presented themselves, and agreed to go into training for the winter.

It is to be of the same size as the Advocate and the Crimson, and it will alternate with the Acta Columbiana, thus giving the Columbia students two papers a month. We wish the new paper all the success which its prospectus anticipates, - and that is a great deal...
