...first glance the figures of enrollment may seem somewhat discouraging; but when the extraordinary growth and improved facilities of the western institutions, as well as certain changes within the University are considered, the registration should be gratifying to those who judge Harvard's strength by its numbers,--at best a superficial test.

Several quarter-mile sprints were taken by the crew, in which the men showed good rhythm. Von Saltza has completely recovered from his illness and is rowing a strong...
