...order of the Freshman crew has been constantly changed during the spring owing to illness and unforeseen set backs, and as a result the crew is not yet together. The shell built by Davy has proved very unsatisfaetory, as it not only settles badly and lacks stiffness, but seems to drag. The new '99 shell has been loaned to the Freshmen and will probably be used in the race. It is much stiffer than the Freshman shell and holds the crew out much better...
...make the crew appear less favorably than it did last year before going to Poughkeepsie, but the blade work is good and well together. The chief faults of the crew are at present unsteadiness and a hurried recover. The leg drive, although it has improved lately, is not yet as powerful as it ought...
...speak of the men briefly, Dobyns, at stroke, uses excellent judgment and drives his crew well. He is, however, a hard man to follow and Biddle is not yet quite with him.

Deserving of especial mention is a clever take-off on a recent Advocate story, and a pretended unpublished letter written by Li Hung Chang...
...memory of those fallen and yet to fall in the present war will be as dear as that of our past heroes. If we keep to our declared policy of war only for the liberation of Cuba, then they will have an enduring place in history. If, in the end, we pervert these ends, and are inspired by the lust of conquest, they will be remembered only as men of valor. Only wars of high aims leave behind imperishable names of greatness. The fate of the dead hero is in the hands of those who survive...
