...crew took to the shell a week ago Tuesday, but has not been doing especially well of late. Still the improvement is hoped for, and the hard work they are doing is the only way to achieve it. Attention is being paid more particularly to the general work of the crew without any attempt to develope speed as yet. The make up of the crew has not been materially changed. It is still exceedingly doubtful whether Cook will be able to row. No changes will however be made. Eddy will continue to row at No. 6, and if Cook...
...crew is still greatly in need of financial support. The class has been backward all along. Even after the class races, which would naturally have led one to expect support, if ever at all, the condition has not been bettered. The management needs $1000 to defray the expenses at New London, $700 of which has yet to be raised before the crew can go. At present they hope to leave for New London about June 10, that is, if the expected money is forthcoming; otherwise they will have to wait perhaps another week and this would allow only a very...

Then while the managers are slaving about the class trying to get enough money, the crew will...
...President Eliot in 1869, the stamp of the old regime was plainly to be seen, and the progress since that time is almost revolutional. Greek and Latin then had one-fourth the time; now less than one-tenth, and mathematics have been reduced to a considerably smaller figure still. The modern languages are now twice as much studied as the ancient, while natural science recieves four times as much attention as mathematics...
