...Exeter in the different branches of athletics. A majority of the Exeter graduates enter Harvard, thus whatever proficiency is acquired while at Exeter is indirectly a benefit to Harvard. With this fact in view we would call the attention of the Harvard Boat Club to our need and suggest the advisability of presenting us with boats. We understand that the club has several old boats which it wishes to dispose of, and we can see no better way than to give them to us, who are certainly in great need of them. We have in the school several excellent oarsmen...
...responsibility lies with any one individual or organization, or whether each organization is expected to furnish its own pictures and trophies we do not know. The Athletic Association have been careful about putting in their records, but nothing of importance in addition to these is on exhibition. We would suggest the advisability of putting the responsibility for the care and furnishing the room upon some one organization; and probably the Athletic Association, as it has already taken more interest in the room than anybody else, would be the proper organization for this purpose...

We would suggest an increase of "College Notes," and an attempt at typographical improvement...

We would also suggest that less space be devoted to advertising their "Italian Signor," whose chief duty seems...
...remedy that I would suggest for this state of affairs is, that the umbrella racks be removed to the auditor's room, where the paper boy or a waiter might be put in charge over them. The racks would not take up an unnecessary amount of room ranged along the wall, and could be easily disposed of, as now, when not in use. In this way men could have some hope of seeing their umbrellas again when they had put them in the racks, and the dining-hall would not be littered up by the dripping things...
