...used to go down to the boat-house, and encourage the members of the crew by their presence. Now there is scarcely ever a freshman at the boat-house outside the crew, and it is now more than ever that the members of the crew need encouragement and support. This year they are going to meet Yale as well as Columbia on the water, and will accordingly have to work all the harder for victory. We don't ask the whole freshman class to go and sit for three hours on the platform in front of the boat-house...
...series, and have kept the Yale freshmen off the famous "fence." The college appreciates their victory, and is proud of them. Especially creditable is this victory from the fact that the nine played on strange grounds - which is always more or less trying - and had not such strong support from their classmates as did their adversaries, that is, in point of numbers; for certainly they cannot complain of indifference or lack of enthusiasm on the part of the twenty or thirty men who followed their fortunes, and shared their triumph.

...accompany the freshman nine to New Haven Saturday. It seems a great pity that more interest is not taken in this matter. The nine certainly cannot feel at all sanguine when so little interest is taken in the games they play, especially when they receive little or no support from the members of the class. When the Yale nine came up here, fully seventy-five men accompanied them, and they certainly found it more difficult to leave college than our men will, since they have but six cuts a term and for every absence from a recitation they receive...
...concerned. It is under the average weight. Nevertheless, the men are rowing in much better form than last year's crew, and are the most faithful set of men in training I have ever handled. Harvard has a great advantage over us in her professional coach, her strong, trusting support and the experience she gets from the practice pulls with professional crews. We shall try to make a respectable showing in July, and will do the best we can. Whatever secrecy has been observed in respect to the crew has been for the purpose of not assisting...
