There is a fact connected with this fall's work in rowing which is of considerable interest to any one familiar with Harvard boating last year. The members of last spring's Weld crew, are, almost without exception, rowing with the 'Varsity squad. They are of course still far from being finished oarsmen, but they have been rewarded for their steady training in the scrub crew, by being given the opportunity to profit by 'Varsity coaching. It is even possible that some of them may row on the 'Varsity in the spring...
...worth while then to inquire whether this increase in debating enthusiasm outside has been paralleled at Harvard by a like healthy expansion. Are we advancing or standing still? It is hard to give a satisfactory reply to this question. In a small way, perhaps progress is being made, but on the other hand this progress has been painfully slow.

Every man on the list who is still connected with the College in any way has kept during the summer the Harvard rules, and acted according to the policy of the entire athletic managent...
...crews is pretty much determined upon. Dubois, who has been rowing bow in Goodrich's crew, injured his hand yesterday and will be laid up for a week or ten days. Clarke Thompson, however, returns to college shortly and will no doubt fill the vacancy. Bull's crew is still in a somewhat unsettled condition, both McDuffie and Higginson being laid...
