...sophomores have had two crews at work since the Christmas vacation. Of the old crew Storrow, Parker, Hight and Perry are now rowing with the eight. Davis, Schroll and Perkins are rowing with the 'Varsity candidates, while Pfeiffer has been obliged to give up rowing entirely. The crew is somewhat handicapped, from the fact that there is no regular coach, so that the captain is obliged to do all the coaching. Several new men are candidates this year, some of whom are doing very good work...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: It may seem somewhat rash at the present time to suggest the formation of another club. None the less I should like to do so. The departments of French, German and the Ancient languages have a Conference, a Verein and a Classical Club. Why should there not be an English Literature Club for the benefit of men interested in English, whether taking courses in it or not? It seems to me that an organization embracing both instructors and undergraduates would do much towards removing grounds for the ocmplaint of deadness in the English department. The undergraduates should...
...rather turgid sonnet on "Evangline" begins the number; then, after the editorials, a rather powerful story, the treatment of which is new, though the phraseology is somewhat stiff and threadbare. Following are three sweet, dreamy stanzas, entitled "Homeward." They improve on second reading, and with the couplets headed "Another Answer," bring the verse of this issue much above the average.

It has one fatal fault that it is not true to nature; now who does write truely cannot act truely, and his work...
...good as it ought to be. For, first, they are compelled to be on hand every morning by seven o'clock for breakfast. Even then it is likely not to be ready; if ready, 'tis so rudely prepared, or, otherwise, so inedible, being mere outside trimmings of meat somewhat stewed or parboiled, as almost to cause a riot among them. All the help eat at this time; but for the waiters alone it is a regular meal; for the other help has a regular symposium at or about ten. We think, though they are colored, they are worthy of better...
...convinced of the commercial necessity of a language to be spoken by all nations, invented Volapuk, the etymology of which is based on French, German and Latin. There is but one declension, one conjugation, no article, no grade; and all prepositions govern the accusative. The conjugation of verbs is somewhat elaborate, but it is without exceptions. Volapuk has already been adopted in various parts of Australia, Syria, Germany and America. In Paris it is taught in thirteen institutions, and there are five newspapers published in it. We are quite prepared to believe the statement of Volapuk grammar that, "anyone, understanding...
