...addition, the subscriptions, particularly from the Freshman Class, have been miserably small. It has been one of the most cherished wishes of the University that a new crew should take their place at the next regatta, but that appears now to be impossible. t is frightful to think what will be the condition of affairs when the present members of the crew graduate...

...happy, homeward-bound student is whirled along towards his Christmas fireside, his mind filled with anticipations of Germans and New Year's calls, does he once think of the handful of his comrades whom circumstances of one sort or another keep behind in these loved but somewhat desolate halls? Does he imagine what anguish will be theirs when the music of the Janitor's matins fails to reach their ears, or how they will miss the cheery hum of their classmates' voices from early morn till morn again?

...those who know anything about this class, and who have watched their crew, it is quite evident that there is no one among them fitted by knowledge and experience to train a crew during the winter and coach them in the Gymnasium; and I think I may venture to say that to most of those men the following seems the best plan that can be followed: There are several fellows, who have been here a year or more and who have pulled during that time, who it is thought would be willing, if asked by the class, to choose...
