Leaving in Memorial Hall the 750 who could be well accommodated there, the remaining 350 and the 200 on the waiting list at the present time would insure the success of the new association at once.

There are those who believe in straight back rowing and there are those who are advocates of the curved back. One man thinks that the body should...
