...class of '83, whom we welcome cordially to Harvard, should appreciate the importance of the position they are called upon to fill. The College has lost, with '79, men whose faithful four years' work has secured, in large measure, our athletic successes. The upper classes cannot properly fill the vacant places on our teams; and even if they could, it would be better to secure men who can remain in training for four years, and give in future years that confidence to our Crew, Nine, and Eleven which only the presence of old athletes can impart.

...already proved himself well fitted for the place. Upon the new men rests a large part of the responsibility of sustaining Harvard's boating record. They can do much towards making the captain's position an easy one, and we look to them for hard, earnest work. Yale is enthusiastic under her new captain, and has voted to challenge us at once.

...hope that our athletes will not go out of training entirely during the summer, but keep in training and compete in the Summer Athletic sports, so that they may be fit and ready for work in the fall. In spite of the gap '79 has left, we may look forward hopefully to the meeting at Mott Haven next year, as we still have left men who, good as they are at their respective distances, can yet materially improve their records by being even only moderately faithful to their work during the next three months.
