...since we were particularly requested in this examination to "pay attention to form as well as substance," we should like to request of the instructor some attention on his part to the swiftness with which the minutes pass, and also to the imperfect powers of man. This, I think, but a fair request, for, when more is expected than a mere answer to the questions, the questions themselves should be such that they will allow time for the extra work.

...however, it is decided that rowing at Springfield would be fatal to success at Saratoga, our men, as a dernier ressort, offer to meet Yale at Saratoga. We think it a question whether a race at Springfield would be incompatible with the Saratoga race, but it must be remembered that Freshman crews require to be handled with the greatest of care. We think it would have been more becoming for the Record to have investigated the matter a little more thoroughly before allowing itself to use such very candid and emphatic language. We have, however, long since ceased...
