...that their assistance is sought. That it will not be sought in vain, the experience of last summer assures us. Then, when our crew, defeated, deserted, and disorganized, were left to row the Saratoga race in the racked and worthless boat of the previous year, in which their practice time, with the best effort, the crew think, that they ever made, was eighteen minutes, the graduates stepped into the breach, and straightway a new boat came from Blakey's shop, and we were saved from utter defeat...
Their assistance, however, came so late that it failed to receive the reward it merited. The new boat was hastily constructed and hastily forwarded, and reached Saratoga twisted and unfit for use. There were many repairs to be made, and all too little time for practice; and during the race an accident occurred, arising from this hasty construction and lack of time for repairs, which seriously affected the crew's time, and, there is good reason to suppose, their position.

May we ask "those whom it may concern" to consider these facts...
...meeting of the Athletic Association on Tuesday evening was attended by only about twenty men. Officers were elected, but nothing more was done. We regret that this was the case, for we look to the H. A. A. for another winter meeting this year. The time immediately before and after the semiannuals is the most monotonous season in the whole nine months we spend in Cambridge, and anything which breaks the monotony is truly a godsend. The meeting of the Athletic Association last March in the Gymnasium was in the main successful, and we sincerely trust that we shall...
