...crew will be an easy winner this year at New London. Every one of the last crew, even the substitutes, are back in the University this year, and so far as able each is willing to row. This of course to the public at large seems conclusive for the success of the year. But often a serious talk with those who are in positions to know the real condition of things, one cannot help feeling quite different.

It is to be hoped that this awakened interest marks a return of our enthusiasm for the long neglected art of public speaking, and that the joint debates of this year are only the beginning of an annual series. The friends of the two universities have long desired some such contest.
