...officers of the Yale navy have decided to suggest certain amendments to the constitution at the next meeting of the university boat club. They propose that two sub-treasurers be appointed to assist the treasurer, that the executive committee shall consist of the president, captain and a graduate selected by the advisory committee; that at elections for captain of the navy, the chairman may cast the deciding vote in case of a tie, and that the president may be a member of the crew...

It seems to us that the committee objects more to the letter of the rules, the possibilities they suggest, than to their spirit. But after all we object most strenuously to the time they have chosen for their action. It is too late after all arrangements have been made to interpose objections that should have been made before if at all. If Harvard insists on any such change it would...
