...members of the University and third crews went out in singles with the exception of Newton and Waid, who went out as stroke and 7 in the second boat, the same as a week ago yesterday. By this practice it is evident that Coach Wray has Newton in view as a possible candidate for stroke of the University crew next spring, and by rowing him with Waid in the second crew once a week he can see how well the pair work together, and also better eradicate Newton's tendency to be slow with his hands and body...

Secondarily it is planned with the idea of bringing before new-comers a comprehensive view of extra-academic interests. The men who will speak are thoroughly representative of the different phases of official and undergraduate life, and they will describe activities in which members of the entering class must sooner or later take part...
