...respectable body of spectators to witness the sport. Here is something in which we are almost certain of winning, if such a result is an argument for going. Then again there is nothing so encouraging to the players engaged as the knowledge that some friends are present to support and cheer them. Yale always sends a good delegation to tournaments and Harvard should, if possible, do the same. The expense of the round-trip, down and back, would be about $7.00 While there the visitors are sure to receive every attention from the Trinity men so that the expenses...
...days ago we published an editorial asking for better support from the three lower classes in the literary department of the paper. This request, we are glad to say, has not fallen upon deaf ears, for we have already received several articles and communications from candidates for the position of editor.

Mr. Storrow, '85, captain of the crew, made a few remarks on the subject of training, and asked for the moral as well as the financial support of the college. Mr. Sexton, '84, spoke of the difficulty of obtaining proper financial support, and expressed his surprise at the smallness of the meeting. On motion of Mr. Sexton it was decided that the executive committee should have full power to act on matters of minor importance. After cheering the crew and Captain Storrow, and passing resolutions...
...found a notice of the Athletic Association meeting to be held this evening. Now let every man in college make it a special point to attend. Let Holden be so crowded as to necessitate an adjournment to Boylston. Let the officers of the Association feel that they have the support of the college, and that their efforts are appreciated, and try, though tardily, to atone for the disgrace of last night's neglect...
