...result of last year's operations of the Co-operative Society are satisfactory. It will be remembered that last year a new system was begun, by which all members of the University may buy at the Society's store; prices are fixed a little above cost (though still, as a rule, considerably under ordinary retail prices) and the net profits are divided among members. Under this system the net surplus, on last year's operations, proved to be, in round numbers, $2.200. The directors will presumably vote, at a meeting which is to be held at an early date...
...interest of the students, for whom, primarily, the crew is supposed to be conducted. This loss of interest among the undergraduates is greatly to be deplored for many reasons, and to persevere in such a course can only result in the utter demoralization of Havard athletics. When the Harvard system of athletics becomes so unwieldy that the under graduates cannot manage it for themselves, it is time that some change should be made, which should not take it out of their hands, but make it easier for them to control...

...Yale crews since they began rowing in a tank during the winter months seems to indicate that such an arrangement is superior to the rowing machines heretofore in vogue, and Harvard would do well to imitate her rival in this matter. With the abolition of the arbitrary system by which the crew was controlled last year and the appointment of a competent advisory committee, there is no reason why Harvard should not turn out a good crew this year from the excellent material now in college. Unless the tables are turned soon, the interest in rowing will decline, for neither...
