LAST year $850 was subscribed for the H. U. B. C. more than was ever paid. Of this amount, one hundred dollars was put down by members of the class of '76, and, consequently, will never be seen by the Club. A careful statement of the financial condition of the boat-club will be found in the article called "Graduates and Boating," and it is as well that a word should be said to undergraduates on the subject while the graduates are being called upon. Among the other affairs of our University in a grievous state, may be reckoned...
...intend to bore you with philosophy, - with my peculiar views of the causes and effects of this state of things. I am only going to use this statement as an introduction to a warning lecture, which I sincerely hope that you will read.

Let every Senior, therefore, begin immediately on his three-and-one-half-minute performance. Yet, if it is not too late, we would humbly...
...strokes a great deal of consideration. At Springfield he studied the stroke of the Yale men, and after the regatta at Saratoga he went to Philadelphia, saw both the English crews, and talked with the captain of the London Rowing Club Four. He therefore has definite opinions. A public statement of those opinions would certainly be read with the greatest interest by both graduates and undergraduates...
