Mr. Sanger's motion that the day be July 14 was objected to by Amherst, as it gave them only four days between the close of their academic year and the regatta, while the term for the "Aggies" does not close until July 17. The expense and difficulty of keeping the other colleges waiting was acknowledged, as well as the unfairness of it, so the day finally fixed upon was July...

Of those who have won their blue E. Giles took a first in Modern History, and F. H. Hall in Classics, J. E. Edwards-Moss a second in Law, and C. C. Knollys in Mathematics. F. E. Armitstead, also, whose aquatic reputation is surpassed by that of no blue, took a second in Classics. Several men who have rowed in the Trials took good classes, foremost among whom should...
