...Brown is in a state of excitement. On Monday and Tuesday there were cane rushes between the Sophomores and Freshmen. President Robinson broke up the second rush and expelled six Sophomores, but refused to suspend the class, as he was requested to do. He also gave warning that any Freshman appearing with a cane or any imitation thereof would be expelled. Expulsion was threatened the Sophomores who should trouble the Freshmen...

The change, however, seems to us for the best, in the present state of affairs. We take it for granted that it is but a temporary measure, because a healthier state of boating affairs would be shown rather by a change from sixes to eights than from sixes to fours, and we are not ready yet to give up in despair the hope of seeing...
