...discontent and discouragement among the members of the Yale crew. It was only a couple of years ago when the same sort of trouble which is brewing now broke out, but the outcome of it was the best 'varsity crew that Yale had ever put upon the water. In spite of all these reports of the Yale crew being exceptionally poor at the present time, early in April many eminent boating authorities predicted an exceptionally good crew in every respect.

And we ought not to pursue...

It is spring, but, in spite of the warm weather, it is also the fit time for overcoats, as the tailor says. April is a deceptive maid, and lures many an unsuspecting youth to an early grave by her enticing suggestions to lay aside the winter garments. It was only yesterday morning that a large choir...
