...expense incurred in coming east." Think of the patriotic westerner debating with himself as to which one of the four hundred and fifty-six "monohippic" colleges he shall honor with his presence! What peculiar risk there is in going to Cornell we are at a loss to discover, unless, indeed, it is the Ithaca mud which the Era is constantly complaining...
Here we have the same injustice to those whose homes are at a distance. Suppose a man lives sixty or seventy miles from Cambridge, and does not wish to incur the expense necessary to going each week, yet wishes to go at irregular intervals throughout the year. He cannot. Unless he goes home on every one of the thirty-eight Sundays of the Academic year, he must limit himself to six. Is this fair...

The crew will thus be, in a great measure, dependent, for the expenses of this year, upon outside resources, - boat-club theatricals, generosity of graduates, additional subscriptions, and the like, - and will, unless the receipts from this direction are most liberal, be seriously hampered by lack of funds. Where this poverty will be unavoidably and disastrously felt is in the matter of new boats; and it is here that the graduates can best help us, here that they can best prove the interest they...
