...have only time to sketch roughly the plan I would adopt for the practical application of the system. I would divide the whole number of members of the Dining-Hall Association into five classes, and each of these I would subdivide into two subclasses. These divisions should be composed of men who take chiefly the following subjects: A. Languages. 1. Ancient. 2. Modern. B. Mathematics. 1. Hard. 2. Soft. C. History. 1. Of Events. 2. Of Institutions. D. Physics. 1. Useful. 2. Useless. E. Philosophy. 1. Comprehensible. 2. Incomprehensible...
SINCE the club system came into practice six races have been rowed, of which Holyoke has won three (two six and one four oared), Holworthy has won two (one six and one four oared), and Weld has won the other four-oared race. The position of the clubs at the end of each of the races was as follows...
...make up rules by compromise that will suit all. Some one particular game, and that the best game that can be found, should be adopted, and every college should conform strictly to its rules.

The suggestion that the game is for the feet alone, and not for the hands, is a mere quibble; for all sensible observers will agree that the use of the hands makes the game much more exciting and interesting.

...result of the club races on the 30th must be in every way satisfactory to those who are interested in the success of the club system. In both the four and six oared races the time of the winning boat was an improvement on the time made a year ago. Under the club system three races, each two miles in length, have been rowed by four-oared crews, and the time made in each race has been better than that of the preceding one. Thus the time of the winning four-oared crew in the fall...
...subscription list for the University Crew has been circulated lately among all the classes, and the subscriptions of the three upper classes have been liberal, while the Freshmen have given but little and that with very bad grace. A year ago the new system of assessing each class a certain percentage of the amount necessary for the crew was instituted, and was acknowledged by every one to be a very just and equitable way of raising the money required. Each class now in passing through College supports one crew. The Freshmen are assessed thirty-five per cent of the whole...
